Battery caged hens! arghhhhhhhhhhhhh, this is everything I campaign against in the UK........... how anyone could warrant keeping birds like this is beyond me.............. hoping and praying that no-body makes these cages...... arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I have seen that site before. I was like

Its just the same as those big egg production plants, maybe just kept a bit cleaner thats all. No animal should spend its whole life like that, not being able to move around, see the natural light of day, and first and foremost, walk on the good green earth they were meant too!!

I'm happy I love my girls to much to ever do that to them.

i believe that everyone should have there own chickens to lay eggs and eliminate these egg production companies all together

I thought it was a very nice website. Notice that this site is directed towards folks in South Africa. I'm pretty sure they have to keep their hens confined or some very large predator would eat them all. That does NOT mean that I agree with the large commerical industries use of battery cages! A small home owner can keep them in a pen/cage and they be just fine.
