I just use that term myself but I would say the minimum requirement would be that the hens, once past their prime, live out their lives on the property, are adopted or given to a sanctuary.

They don't kill their hens and they sell their eggs. Sounds like a place I should know about. I'll check out the link. Thank you for this!

AF, are you a no kill egg producer I should put on my small but growing list of no kill farms in the US? Do you sell locally or just raise birds for personal reasons?

And by the way, I live near Broadway (NYC) and the no kill eggs I buy at the local green market sell out at $12.00/dozen.

I'm getting ahead of myself, local no kill farm producers first, but ANYTHING can be shipped these days for a price. But seriously, I'd like to establish the network first and keep it local (maybe within 100 miles of no kill farm xyz). Mind you, these ideas are all growing/shifting as I hear...

I'm at the beginning of my journey. Doing research and slowly pinning farms on a dedicated Google map. There's so much work to be done. Maybe I'll attract some volunteers, that could work. I also work full time and handle my senior mom's affairs in an AL facility.

Local no kill egg farms for sure! Under 100 birds most likely. Child's play compared to the industrial machine but hopefully strength in numbers. I have no delusions thinking I'll find a no kill factory. That's unlikely.

Thanks. I'm learning a lot here, that's the point!

True but I can't show compassion to those male chicks that have died but I can for the hens that are living. You start where you are...and maybe one day... :)

In general, that's true, but it's possible. I've already found small farms (under 100 birds) that allow their hens to live out their lives on their property in sheltered spaces. And you're right, adoption is an option too. As one owner said with their older hens, "they've more than payed for...

Thank you for your insight wherever you are!

Actually, I love the taste of chicken but I love compassion more.

I live in New York and I’m on a quest, a quest to put together a comprehensive list of no kill hen farms that sell their eggs in the US. I found a place in upstate New York near me but I’d like to find others around the country and be able to share that information with others. Any ideas of...
