Rescue Hens

[Sweet Crumble]

Hey everybody.
I was just curious what you all think of batteries (the farms where they keep hens locked up for there eggs, meat ect.)
I had 4 rescued battery hens (Rhode Island Reds) and they where the best chooks I have had.
They where afraid of humans at first, but once you got to know them, they where super friendly, and loyal till death.
Anyways, just wanted to hear what other people thought of them, and if you have had any, maybe share their stories, I would love to hear them.

Quite few people do get those hens for the purpose of giving them a better place to live. There are lots of stories out there about what a joy those birds are.

I have read about people organizing adoptions of battery hens in large numbers. Your story is encouraging...

I think it's lovely to see their transformations after a few months!
