A broiler transport container has a floor and side walls defining an inner volume sized to accommodate at least five live broilers during transportation. At least one support column extends from the floor up through the inner volume. The support column is distanced from all the side walls providing space for at least one broiler in between the support column and any of the side walls. The support column has a height to support the floor of a further broiler transport container stacked on top of the broiler transport container.
