This post is for our Mia, Florence, Clara, Stella, Mayfair, Rose ,Cherry, Daisy Margot, our little boy Franklin and all the other precious souls who have very sadly passed away or have suffered as a result of commercial farming and breeding.🧡
The end result is the same for the chickens, be it organic, free range or caged, these poor birds suffer and are killed either just after hatching (if male) or at only 72 weeks old if female, if they survive that long.
So many rescued ex laying hens develope reproductive and laying issues (amongst other conditions) due to the way they are bred to produce egg after egg. All of their energy goes into producing the eggs it puts an immense strain on their bodies.
Naturally hens in the wild would only lay 10-15 eggs per year and can live up to 10-15 years, the hens bred for commercial laying are expected to lay every day, 365 eggs a year and when this level decreases slightly they are killed, if they are allowed to be rescued they are lucky to reach 4/5 years old. Our remaining girls are now about 4 and a half years old, sadly many of their friends have passed away.
Chickens can nutritionally benefit from eating their own eggs. They worked so hard to produce the eggs, they are theirs 🙏
