Ex-battery Hens for something EGGstra!
|
AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE EX-BATTERY HENS A NEW LIFE Have you considered buying ex-battery hens? No? Then you should! Once battery hens are no longer of any productive use to farmers, many battery hens are slaughtered. Just because the farmer doesn’t want them any more, it doesn’t mean that their egg-laying days are over, it’s just that they aren’t producing enough eggs to make them commercially viable to the farmer. So why not consider buying a few ex-batery hens for yourself and give them a good home in a better environment? It’ll certainly give you the feel good factor, and I’m sure the hens will be grateful too!
A couple of groups have been set up that buy ex-battery hens from all over the country from such farmers, and then they sell them on to people that will take good care of them – they actually have waiting lists! We have linked to one such group below. For more information visit the Battery Hen Welfare Trust. Have you already purchased some ex-battery hens? What do you think of this idea?
