I looked into rescues but the only chickens you can rescue near me are actually family flocks who the towns have said need to be removed. Apparently the families tend to come and visit and the person running the rescue was reluctant to let them go so I concluded I wasn't really helping.

Your friend certainly has his work cut out for him taking in those poor things. It’s a very kind thing to commit to. My little “soapbox” time, I will keep it brief... It isn’t eating meat or eggs that is inherently wrong. Taking the life of an animal for sustenance is not bad or evil. This is. That we can abuse and neglect animals like this and care only for what we can get from them. There is absolutely nothing that can be said to excuse people treating animals in this fashion. This is what is wrong with industrialized farming, cheap food, and the massive consumption levels that people demand. I hope they can grow some feathers, feel the grass beneath their feet, and dust bathe in the sunshine before they pass on.
