Battery cages are the predominant form of housing for laying hens worldwide. They reduce aggression and cannibalism among hens, but are barren, restrict movement, prevent many natural behaviors, and increase rates of osteoporosis. Approximately 95% of eggs in the US were produced in battery cages. This is sad and why we sell our own free ranging in part eggs to the community. We have seven rescue hens. They free range all day and coop at night. Each day they run to greet me as I step outside. Usually pecking at my leg, pants, shoes. Over and over and over same spot on my leg. They hen house they came from, clips these battery hens beaks so they wont eat their eggs or hurt each other I guess. Their peck doesn't hurt but its annoying but I think it comes from a place of love. These seven have some speed to them. I enjoy watching them run at top speed to greet me wherever they are on the farm. ZIP, PECK, .......The joke for the day is......Q: What do marathon running chicken need most?
A: Hendurance.
