Flo Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Has anyone seen the piece about battery hens in the London Metro today? There seem to be a couple of odd comments... "The birds can still live for a further eight years and produce one or two eggs a day - rather than the three a day needed by farmers to make a profit" Great pic of a resuced hen though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well obviously my freeloaders are short-changing me! 3 eggs a day!!!!! Poor little things must have very short "days" in the batteryfarm. Hooray for the BHWT and other like-minded organisations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
