cheekymonkey200 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 A friend of mine who works for an animal rescue charity has bought this company to my attention http://www.livingeggs.com.au/AboutUs.html They provide fertilised eggs and incubators to classrooms for children to learn about the life cycle etc there is no obligation for the schools to keep the hens though they can if they want, and they say that all hens will end up on free range farms. There have apparently been a few concerns raised about the chicken welfare and the inevitable cockerel problem and I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of the company or had heard anything about them? Surely children could visit a responsible chicken breeder rather than raising their own with questionable welfare issues after they hatch? The idea sits a little uncomfortably with me if all you're teaching is: look at the cute baby chickens now we've bought them into the world we can get rid of them and take no responsibility for what happens to them next... any thoughts?
