Where Do YOU Get/Rescue Battery Hens From?

[roostersandhens]

I haven't personally rescued battery hens, but I found a place that did the largest battery hen rescue in California.

animalplace.org

They have a documentary on the rescue on youtube, it's called TURLOCK - The Documentary (I think)

Yeah, I saw that! I will have to add that to the article!

Roostersandhens: Turlock is being released as a documentary movie. I believe a limited release only but......probably we'll be able to purchase it sometime in the future.

I love what you're doing....rescuing those poor gentle girls. I work in the animal shelter field and we've had hens come in (escapees from the trucks taking them to slaughter). I've adopted two (all of the hens/roosters/peeps et al get sent to NY farm sanctuaries now). One is still with me. One was a meat bird - wonderful personality, very loving, became very loyal to me. Unfortunately, and my vet warned me, because of the growth hormones she was injected with, he stated she may not live long. I had her for under a year, but she will always be remembered in my heart. My other chooks loved her too, she was so funny - running across the yard with those big feet of hers. Had to get into everyone's face to see what they had. I believe they let her get away with things because, age wise, she was still a young bird, still only four months old. A big giant chick, mind you.

That is very cool that they are making a documentary.

That is sad about the meat bird. Yes, they tend to die under the age of 1 year. It is so horrible.

My battery girl (is inside) is flicking her food everywhere! Purposely on me. I put up a barrier so she can't flock as much.

If anyone here knows where you can rescue other poultry from factory farm type places you can include that. Because I really want to rescue 2 ducks from a Foie Gras Factory.
