And the cost of battery cages is one thing that needs to be discussed among or with respect to, farming chicken. Battery cages are tiny wire cages that pack many chickens into a small area. Space saving in battery cage systems Many farms produce eggs in battery cage system as they save space and help the farmers save money. But there are plenty of issues with this kind of farming that can be detrimental to the chickens themselves and to the eggs we consume.
Why do so many farmers choose them? The cost of battery cages. Because these cages are generally more affordable compared to other types of cages, they are a less costly option for farmers. But some hidden costs of battery cages are a lot less visible, even though they are cheaper in terms of immediate outlay. They might save on cages, but pay more in animal health care in the end because the animals aren't being treated properly, for instance.
Animal rights groups are extremely concerned about battery cage use. They say the cages are very small, so chickens do not have enough space to move. The cages are frequently stacked on top of one another, so the chickens are crammed and forced to stand on wire flooring for their entire lives. This is not a natural environment for chickens, and they never get to walk on grass or feel the soil under their feet.
What is the true cost of battery cages? For one, the cages can be diabolical in the suffering they cause to the chickens who are held in them. Cullens do not have enough space to move or stretch their wings freely, which may make them uncomfortable and even injure them. It’s also essential to note that they have to linger in their own waste, which can cause illness and health concerns. And this also results in the eggs they produce being unhealthy for us to eat.
Animal rights advocates are calling for farms to adopt better and more humane practices for raising chickens. So instead of battery cages, there’s one popular idea known as free-range farming. Free-range farming means, chickens have a “room” to roam, and can also go outside to romp in the grass. That’s much better for the chickens because it allows them to behave more like the way they do in the wild, and it provides us with healthier eggs to consume.
What does any of this have to do with Hemei? A compassionate company dedicated to the health of both Animals and People. We think it important to allow chickens to be raised humanely, even if that costs slightly more than battery cages. This is why we only implement free-range farming with our chickens.
Free range can cost more than battery cages, but we believe it is worth every cent. Not only is it better for the chickens – it's also healthier for families, with the eggs our families eat every day. The earth-friendly, free range way chicken is raised means a healthier and happier chicken. And when people eat eggs from these happier, healthier chickens, they can help them be healthier too!
