A Second Chance For Battery Hens
The humble egg, a staple in many of our diets, but how did it get to your table?...free range,battery farmed,barn raised...? In what conditions do the chickens live who produce our eggs?
Why should we care ?
This page is about the sensible and considered rescue and rehabilitation of chickens who are battery farmed for their eggs and how they can become free range hens and produce free range eggs.
I am writing it in the spirit of the rescue organisations whose remit is to educate and rehabilitate rather than blame and castigate. I am writing in the same vein, not to harass the farmers who use the battery method of farming, which is perfectly legal,(and delivers inexpensive eggs to our tables) but to work to see what we can do to change things for the chickens who find themselves living the life of a battery hen. Not to inflame passions about this topic or guilt people into rescuing hens but to educate, seek ways to help these chickens and search for sensible options.
I have not included any disturbing pictures on this page but please be aware that some of the links and the video on "please buy only free range eggs"do contain photos of the battery farming system and battery hens pre rehabilitation which some people may find upsetting.
The Origins Of The Hen.
Where the hen came from and how she would have lived.
They would engage in activities such as preening themselves and dustbathing, foraging for food and often walking a long way to find food. They can also fly for short distances. They would have used trees for roosting at night and to flee from predators. Laying hens would have built a nest, laid her eggs and looked after her chicks.
Much of this natural behaviour is currently denied to todays battery farmed hen.
Battery Hen Welfare Trust.
Awareness of the battery hen industry and how you can help.
- Battery Hen Welfare Trust.
- This is a site designed to educate people about all aspects of the egg laying industry. It does not seek to apportion blame or incite but rather to work together to make things better for hens.
Excellant site Ii would definetely recommend anyone to read if you are interested in battery hen welfare and rehabilitation.
They do a lot of good work for battery hens including rehoming, and detail all the ways you can get involved if you want to.
Life As A Battery Chicken
What is life like for a battery chicken?
The following is a result of my own observations and reading on this subject. I have left a lot out and will not be putting disturbing pictures on this site. At times doing this research has been difficult.
Once chicks are hatched, without their mothers present I might add, she will be long gone, I won't go into detail here but the males are not kept alive they are killed early after hatching. The females are moved and brought on until they can lay.You can get more detail on these "processes" of how chicks are handled by clicking many of the links. I do not feel it is appropriate to go into too much detail here.
The chickens are kept in small cages known now as "barren " cages and the cages are on a slope so they never get to stand up properly.This can lead to the battery hens feet becoming deformed. They are fed regularly but never get to do natural behaviour like walking, running, flying, scratching, dust-bathing,pecking or roosting. There just isnt room.
Some of them have bare patches where they have been attacked by other birds in the cage and they may lose many of their feathers. Attacks and pecking occur as the birds live in a barren enviroment which means they have nothing to do.
They have their beaks clipped as chicks to try to reduce the pecking of other birds and this results in a lifelong mutilation.
I have read that a typical battery cage measures about 45cm x 50cm (18" x 20") - and houses five hens. This works out to be about a sheet of A4 paper to live in per hen.
Cages are arranged in rows up to 6 tiers high, inside huge, windowless sheds which can contain up to 75,000 hens. Mostly they live in artificial light.
The Welfare Codes require the well-being of all birds to be inspected 'at least once daily' Birds do die in their cages.
So these birds providing us with eggs live out their lives doing little more than eating,drinking passing waste and laying eggs. Its a far cry from what the life of a chicken is supposed to be like...

My Experiences With Chickens
Why do I even care about hens...
As a child I used to have a pony and she lived in a field where there was also a coop of chickens. They were very free range and often wandered in to the ponies field. I used to help out by collecting the eggs and feeding the hens.Of course they all had names and as I got to know them their little personalities, some were calm, bossy, some sweet, some very stubborn and one I recall always tried to peck me! I got to know the hieracy in the small group of hens and how they interacted with each other.
One of the funniest things I ever saw (and i wish video and You Tube had been around back then) was the sight of this interaction between a pony and a chicken!
I first noticed it when I was cleaning my ponies tack at the side of the field...the hens often wandered right into the field and went about their business scratching and eating and the horses went about theirs. However one day i noticed this one chicken got really close to my pony...then all of a sudden my pony trotted towards it and the chicken ran at top speed!! I was worried as i didnt want the chicken to get hurt but before i had a chance to call or stop my pony the chicken stopped whirled around and ran back towards the pony who turned right round and ran from the chicken. They ran back and forth like this for a good 5 minutes then all settled down again!!
Did this show an ability to play? No one was making them do it and after that time I witnessed it several more times as well...
I guess I grew up as a child thinking all chickens lived like this and we got our eggs from this farm so it all seemed right to me. I guess I was lucky...
It wasnt until I visited a battery hen farm through work years later, that I realised what was for me the harsh reality of all those eggs in the supermarket, you know the ones not marked free range.
I always checked after that where my eggs were coming from.
Then more recently I read about the rescue work going on and a woman at work who was retiring said she was getting some rescue chickens and I started to look deeper.

Some Good News About The Future Of Barren Battery Farming
Banning of Small Barren Battery Cages.
This does not mean all hens will be free range. Many people feel this does not go far enough. Others feel it is a big step forward. If you are interested read the discussions around barn free, enriched cages etc
What is the difference between a "barren " , "enriched" and non cage hen farming systems?
Barren v enriched v non cage system for hens
An enriched cage is simiar to a barren cage but it a little bigger, has a nest and a piece of sandpaper perches litter material and about 600cm square space per hen.
Non cage system provide nests, perches and litter over at least one third of the floor space and have a space allowance of 1111cm square per bird.
Further detail on all these can be found in the CIWF report link.
Reports And Articles On The Egg Laying System.
Discussions on battery hen farming and the alternatives.
- CIWF (Compassion in World Farming)
- After many years of campaigning the CIWF achieved a win in the banning of barren battery farm cages.
The European Union passed the Laying Hens Directive - legislation requiring complete phasing out of the use of barren battery cages by 2012.
However not everyone is happy about this and some elements of the egg industry are calling for the ban to be delayed or dropped.You can read more about the CIWF campaign in this article. - EU Bans battery cages BBC Article
- This article was actually published in 1999. It notes that the European Union voted to ban battery hen cages across Europe, starting in 2009.
The European Commission called for a size increase in battery hen cages from 450 sq cm as the minimum floor area to 800 sq cm by 2009.
However MEPs agreed by a two-thirds majority to ban such cages altogether by then.

The Poem About The Battery Hen: Pam Ayres
The Battery Hen by Pam Ayres
Oh. I am a battery hen,
On me back there's not a germ,
I never scratched a farmyard,
And I never pecked a worm,
I never had the sunshine,
To warm me feathers through,
Eggs I lay. Every day.
For the likes of you.
When you has them scrambled,
Piled up on your plate,
It's me what you should thank for that,
I never lays them late,
I always lays them reg'lar,
I always lays them right,
I never lays them brown,
I always lays them white.
But it's no life, for a battery hen,
In me box I'm sat,
A funnel stuck out from the side,
Me pellets comes down that,
I gets a squirt of water,
Every half a day,
Watchin' with me beady eye,
Me eggs, roll away.
I lays them in a funnel,
Strategically placed,
So that I don't kick 'em,
And let them go to waste,
They rolls off down the tubing,
And up the gangway quick,
Sometimes I gets to thinkin'
"That could have been a chick!"
I might have been a farmyard hen,
Scratchin' in the sun,
There might have been a crowd of chicks,
After me to run,
There might have been a cockerel fine,
To pay us his respects,
Instead of sittin' here,
Till someone comes and wrings our necks.
I see the Time and Motion clock,
Is sayin' nearly noon,
I 'spec me squirt of water,
Will come flyin' at me soon,
And then me spray of pellets,
Will nearly break me leg,
And I'll bite the wire nettin'
And lay one more bloody egg.
Barn,Battery or Free Range Eggs?
Is the Barn egg system better than battery egg system?

- Brief explanation of Barn egg farming and why although not free range it is better than Battery farming...
If you cant buy free range you may want to consider.
Poll On Eggs In Food We Buy
Labelling Of Eggs
Sometimes a confusing maze for the egg buying person.
I have tried to do some reseach on this and have listed links to sites which may help to explain it better.
Also please bear in mind that egg labelling systems vary a lot between countries and may not even be regulated at all.
My very personal view is that if you buy "free range" eggs or "certified humane" eggs and if possible can verify that, that is the best option.
Again in my personal view if the eggs are free range and produced humanely then the farmers would be proud of that and label accordingly rather than putting other rather vague titles on their cartons.
However , if the system is not regulated any egg labelling could be open to misuse.
If you want to eat humanely produced eggs, you will be doing a lot if you just start asking the questions, avoiding the factory barren caged produced eggs and try to establish for your country which label means they are allowed to live as close the "Five Freedoms" or "Five Necessities" as possible.(please see link below for detail on the "Five Necessities")
- Egg Industry .com FAQ's.
- This page on the Egg Industry.com site covers the confusing labelling of eggs in "Reading Between the Lines"
Many people want to buy humanely produced products but often find it difficult to judge from the labels what you are actually buying.
This page discusses the sometimes overwhelming number of labels you may see and what they might mean. - Food and Water Watch.org
- Effective food labels could stop factory farming?
This discusses the identification and labelling of food and discusses the idea of livestock raised in keeping with "Five Freedoms," also known as the "Five Necessities"
European Commission wants labelling rules to help consumers make more informed decisions about the food they buy.
Such a system is already in place for eggs. Since 2004, consumers have been able to avoid factory-raised eggs thanks to a rule requiring them to be labelled "free range," "barn eggs" or "eggs from caged hens." - Organic Guide.com
- Interesting and informative discussion about the production of organic eggs, the labelling of eggs and how we neeed to be careful when we buy. Visit the links to several different countries listed to find out (if you live in one of those countries) how labelling affects you.

How To Rehabilitate Your Rescue Ex Battery Hen
Learning to live as a free range hen. The coop.
They will be able to give you much more advice on the rehabilitation of these hens and what you need to take into account.
When you first get your hens you must understand they have seen little more in their young lives than a cage. They will be a little overwhelmed if you just set them free to get on with it. In fact I have read that some chickens if it rains just stand there they dont know to get into the dry shed. They will need care and support at first to acclimatise to this new environment.
So go easy and gently. Start them off in a small area they can get used to and gradually expand the area of roam. Take them into the coop if it is cold or if it rains so they know what to do. Make sure your coop and chicken area is protected from predators.
Regarding cold they have lived all their life in a temperature controlled enviroment, also many are partly or wholly bald due to pecking. They can get cold very quickly so you need to take that into account until they adjust and get their feathers back.
Also remember that they are physically weak. Their whole lives they have just stood at an angle, some have deformed feet, most just have no muscle tone so dont expect them to jump up to the coop.
You will need to provide a ramp so they can walk up a gentle incline. Within a few weeks they will get a lot stronger and most will be able to jump but gently does it...
At first they will be overwhelmed with the new environment and be very cautious and polite to each other;however as they find their feet there will be squabbles as they decide the hieracy or "pecking" order just like they would have done in the wild. It is best that you let them decide this but do watch out for anyone who is being especially picked on or if anyone gets hurt you may need to separate them for a while to avoid further problems. You can get more advice on all this from the rehoming centres.

You Rescue Hen And Egg Laying
The business of your ex battery rescue hen laying eggs.
She knows nothing about nesting,brooding,looking after eggs.
She has just pushed them out down the shoot and she never even sees them.
Left to her own devices as a free hen she will now probably just drop eggs wherever she is and move on. You need to help her regain her natural instincts.
You may need to encourage her with false eggs, rubber ones are good as they cannot get damaged. Put them in the coop where you want her to nest and let her get used to them. She will learn.
How many eggs will you get? Well there is no guarentee of that. At frst the eggs are likely to be poor quality, you know the difference yourself if you have tasted battery eggs and free range eggs. In my opinion there is no comparison.
Give your rescue hen good food, fresh air, sunshine on her back and let her regain her strength, then you will reap the rewards of your kindness and care.
It may not be the best commercial enterprise but there will be some wonderful free range eggs to feed your family and you know where those eggs have come from and you know it is humane.

How Long Do Ex Battery Hens Live?
Life expectancy of a rescue ex battery hen.
Rescue services always check ex battery hens for health before they rehome and they don't knowingly put a sick hen into a home.
However for some ex battery hens its all been too much and they die quickly. However if all they get is a week of compassion, sunshine, fresh air and the ability to roam in their little lives that is better than never knowing it at all I think.
On average from what I have read you can anticipate about 2 -5 years from your rescue hens but there are no guarantees of course as with any animal or bird...

Quotations About Our Treatment Of All Animals
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.. I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man"
Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
"Today more than ever before life must be characterized by a sense of Universal Responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life."
His Holiness The Dalai Lama
"Animals are God's creatures. He surrounds them with his providential care. By their mere existence they bless him and give him glory. Thus men owe them kindness. We should recall the gentleness with which saints like St. Francis of Assisi or St. Philip Neri treated animals."
Catechism of the Catholic Church
"Animals, as part of God's creation, have rights which must be respected. It behooves us always to be sensitive to their needs and to the reality of their pain."
Dr. Donald Coggan, former Archbishop of Canterbury
"They too, are created by the same loving hand of God which Created us...It is our duty to Protect Them and to promote their well-being."
Mother Teresa.

Free Range Eggs In Box
Help The Hens. The Many Ways You Can Help.
..be a discerning consumer of eggs
Buy free range eggs, check the label to see if they are really free range.
Check processed food labels, does it say free range, if not it may well contain battery eggs. Check. Ask.
When eating out(also takeaways) ask if the eggs used are free range. Even if they dont know you asked the question and maybe raised a little awareness.If they are not free range or they dont know ask for there to be free range eggs or at the very least a choice.
Check mayonnaise and other products made fom eggs are they free range? If not you may want to consider not buying them.
If you have never tasted real free range eggs give it a try and taste the difference. You are putting into your body what the chickens experience...
The "consumer " has amazing power if only we realised it. If we stopped buying battery farmed eggs and residual products they would get the message.
Just always be polite and courteous,you only need to ask the questions and make your own choices.
And if you get a positive response and can verify that they DO use FREE RANGE EGGS thank them for it!Give those people your valuable custom!

This says it better than i can.
The Original Starfish Story found in "Star Thrower," a collection of essays by the naturalist and writer Loren Eiseley 1978
"One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked, 'What are you doing?'
The youth replied, 'Throwing starfish back into the ocean.The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die.'
' Son,' the man said, 'don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish?
You can't make a difference!'
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish,and threw it back into the surf.
Then, smiling at the man, he said;
'I made a difference for that one.'"

Great lens, great facts, there where somethings that I didn't even know. I think this is something that alot of people don't think about. Caging these animals like they do is animal cruelty. This is something that people don't think about they don't see these chickens they just see the eggs on there plate. We want to be humane, but we don't concern are selves will these types of problems. There nothing wrong with cages, but you can't keep them locked up for ever.

Excellent lens! We rescued a dozen chickens when we lived on a farm in Pennsylvania. They'd been raised in small cages in a huge operation somewhere in Ohio. The place was destroyed by a tornado, and the surviving chickens were up for adoption. Talk about happy chickens when we got them home, running around, scratching and pecking like crazy. You could tell they'd never seen or touched grass before or eaten a real, live bug. I swear, they may have been "just chickens," but seeing that made me cry. I was really fond of those birds, and they laid loads of happy eggs for us.

Oh! This is a terrific lens. Great job presenting the facts. Breaks my heart about the caged birds. My husband and I have our own chickens for eggs. They are the cutest things to watch and they are friendly. They have their "house" for night time, but they have free range during the day. I can see them right now out my window. Oh... and the eggs are surprisingly different! Fresher than fresh! The yolks are the brightest yellow I've ever seen. They are far tastier and healthier. Thanks for sharing all this info! 5 stars and favorited - you deserve it!
