Baby chickens are carted on a conveyor belt from the hactery
males and females are seperated by workers
The male chickens are ground alive in a large grinder
the hens are then debeaked by a machine with a lazer
The hens are stored 10 to a cage in 18 by 20 inch cages
An 11% mortality rate is quite common amoung hen houses
none of these chickens have ever seen light, touched ground, or stretched their wings.
300 million hens are kept like this in the United States
after 18 monthes, surviving chickens are sent to slaughter
Our 25 chickens have over 6 acres to live on
They sleep in a 64 square foot coop
Our chickens are free to run around and rummage for food during the day
they can spread their wings and fly
