The invention relates to a broiler chicken container (1 101 201 301 401) which is designed and equipped to receive and hold broiler chickens comprising a base (11 111 211 311 411) and lateral walls (12 13; 112 113; 212 213; 312 313; 412 413) which define an inner volume. The broiler chicken container (1 101 201 301 401) is designed and equipped so as to be stackable with broiler chicken containers (1 101 201 301 401) of the same type. The invention is characterized in that at least one support column (14 114 214 314 414) runs from the base (11 111 211 311 411) upwards through the inner volume. The support column (14 114 214 314 414) is arranged at a distance from all of the lateral walls (12 13; 112 113; 212 213; 312 313; 412 413) so that space is provided for at least one broiler chicken between the support column (14 114 214 314 414) and any of the lateral walls (12 13; 112 113; 212 213; 312 313; 412 413) and the support column (14 114 214 314 414) has a height so as to support the base (11 111 211 311 411) of another broiler chicken container (1 101 201 301 401) which is stacked on top of the broiler chicken container (1 101 201 301 401). The invention further relates to a unit comprising at least two of the aforementioned broiler chicken containers (1 101 201 301 401).
