Thats good that she did that. Getting a battery hen, is rescuing a battery hen.

They were cheap too, only like 50cents and 400days old.

Unforunately, there are so many factories doing this. And it isn't just with chickens. It's with a lot of other animals. Also, the males are gassed.

I saw that. I never knew that they gased them. That is so cruel because they havent even had a chance at life yet. Poor chickies! When i have my own and bigger place i want chickens. Between them and my ducks i will be set.

I know, and if the males aren't gassed, their thrown in a can with a million others and sufficate.

When I move out, I'll move to the country and meself some chickens, ducks, dogs, bunnies, and goats! I live in the city, so I am only aloud to have 6 hens and no roosters. It's sad. But thats because people do cockfighting (Please don't start a conversation about cockfighing, because it is cruel and against the rules on BYC)

I currently have 6 hens, 2 dogs, 1 bunny, and 1 budgie.

Why.... Not to start a debate but it is my opinion,

That link in your blog is just anyyoing. I wish they would not write stuff like this. I love how it makes it out that every egg farmer is a bad guy! And the person that wrote this has a Ph D in what?

You all do not obisley know what is going on. Did you know there are studies being done on new cage systems that well be implemented soon ( not this year soon not two years soon. But soon).

They are not Factories they are farms. Ohh what has social mead done..... And Where did you get this info that

their thrown in a can with a million others and sufficate

??? You do know that Hatcheries that sell birds like McMurry Cull the males. I would much perfer them gassed.

But you know i am the one that is all for convetnal farming and agensit organic farming​
