It's horribly simple really. A hen will lay eggs in preference to taking care of herself. The most important thing for any species is to further the species at any cost.How do commercial chickens lay eggs under such poor living conditions?
And yet, no chicken lays 365. But, contrary to your statement, the hens in most production facilities ARE products of selection for high egg laying ability.I have never been inside one to know how the birds are treated
I do think it’s just wrong to force a bird out of its natural system of breaking in winter by using lights and forcing the eggs to continue
If they were meant to lay 365 days a year they would have been created that way
We can agree to disagreeAnd yet, no chicken lays 365. But, contrary to your statement, the hens in most production facilities ARE products of selection for high egg laying ability.
Okie dokie. You do you.We can agree to disagree
force laying with lights is not natural
Everyone can do as they want with their own flocks including big facilities
I don’t have to support them
I just don’t buy eggs from the store
I find local farms that don’t force egg laying with lights
I don’t have chickens I have ducks
They are my pets not my production
I myself enjoy their eggs ( hubby prefers chicken eggs )
I can water glass if I need eggs through the winter
