That really is an eye opener. I remember speaking to a lady near to us who had rescued some Waitrose "Free range hens" last year and she was quite shocked to see what a state they were in. She felt it was because the food is given at set times during the day on automatic feeders and you know what hen behaviour is like where food is concerned - each for their own! Perhaps that's one of the reasons why they look so awful? At least they do have access to the outside, they can dustbathe, jump and flap their wings, rather than being in a cage?
