Do you have ever heard of something known an "battery hen farm"? It is a sad and a wretched way to many companies raise their chickens for their eggs. We will discuss how these battery cages are bad for the chickens, what inside their cages looks like, and why they are considered very bad for the animals. We will also be talking about how to improve things for chickens.
When chickens are placed into automated battery cages, they are placed into tightly coiled areas. At other times they’re with other chickens, but they don’t have a lot of space to get around. The cages are often piled up, one on top of the other, like shelves in a store. The chickens on the bottom shelves cannot see the sun and spend day after day confined to a cramped space. They cannot stroll or spread their wings due to how cramped they are. And that makes their lives highly uncomfortable and tragic.
Because battery cage chickens don't get enough room to move around, their muscles can degenerate. That is a significant long time for such a unit to be sitting for hours, resulting in wellbeing issues, such as leg issues, and osteoporosis in which the bones end up being to some degree week. The chickens are forced to live in their own filth, as an example, it is extremely unhygienic and makes them sick. Being near other chickens can also spread disease and disease can spread through all the friends like a cold. This means that when one chickens gets sick, a lot more could become sick as well, making it difficult for them to remain healthy.
Battery cage (noun): a small cage for laying hens These cages are quite small, so the chickens are unable to move around. Most cages have feeders and waterers situated inside machines so people don’t have to open cages to feed or water the chickens. That might sound easy, but it deprives chickens of the care they need by nature. They do not get to eat or drink as they would in a natural environment, and this can take their well-being and happiness into account.
There is very little room to move around inside these battery cages. The cages are only slightly larger than the chickens themselves, so they cannot flap their wings or stand up straight. This is extremely vital for their body and health. The cage will often have a wire floor that can injure their feet and make it difficult for them to feel comfortable. Moreover, cages are typically placed in pitch-black rooms with no light coming in. This darkness and difficult life can lead to various stressors in the body and mind of the chicken, causing them to feel sad and confused.
There are numerous reasons battery cages are cruel to animals and why we should care Firstly, it is cruel to confine animals in such tiny spaces and they should not be restrained. It is akin to asking someone to live in a small closet without allowing them to step outside. It's also unhealthy for them. “Chickens raised in battery cages are far more likely to get sick than chickens who are allowed to roam and live in better environments.” And, lastly, we should consider how cruel it is to house animals in these deplorable conditions. They have a right to a good life like we do.
