Chickens are charming birds who care for us, because they lay eggs for us to consume. We like to add their eggs in many different sorts of meals. For instance, we use eggs at breakfast in such things as scrambled eggs and omelets, and baked goods such as cakes and cookies. But do you ever think about where these eggs are coming from? So many eggs come from a special kind of farm called a battery cage. In these farms, they keep hens in very small cages.
Each hen liven in a small cage in battery cage systems. This is a space so small they can hardly stand up or turn around. Just thinking that you can't even stretch your arms! The cages are stacked in rows, one on top of another, so the hens never even get to touch the ground. They cannot roam freely or forage for food as they would in the wild, where they can scratch the dirt and search for delicious bugs.
The cages are stacked in long lines and house multiple hens at once. Sometimes, one building can have thousands of hens inside! The cages are too small for the hens to be able to spread their wings or move around comfortably. The underlying floor of these cages consists of stiff, wire mesh, which can injure their sensitive feet. The hens never have a chance to want to go outside for some fresh air or to feel the sun’s rays on their feathers, as they are kept indoors at all times. That’s a far cry from how hens would live in the wild, where they would be able to survey and run around outside.
Battery cages directly lead to a number of health issues in the hens. For instance, the lack of exercise can lead to weak bones and sore feet. Because they are kept so close to one another, diseases can spread rapidly between hens. Some hens become sick or injured, and unfortunately some die. The hens that remain have to live close to their sick friends, which is very sad. Chickens kept in battery cages often experience stress, anxiety, and depression because they lack the ability to move as they were evolved to do.
Egg hens are not served well by battery cage for chickens, one of the most common systems of using hens to produce eggs. Until they have room to move and spread their wings, many scientists, animal rights organizations and guys like me (I may be biased, my grandmother raised chickens) believe these kinks can be very cruel. They say hens deserve to live in a manner that allows them to be healthy and happy.
The founder of Hemei is a true life-long animal welfare advocate. They want to ensure that the hens who lay our eggs are well treated. And an unequivocal decision was made by Hemei not to employ battery cages. Instead, they create larger, more natural living spaces for their hens. Hens are given room to roam in open barns in these arrangements. Every single day, they have plenty of food, clean water, fresh air and sunlight. Hemei says happy, healthy hens lay better quality eggs for their customers.
