HENS IN BAD CONDITIONS!!!!

I know they do that as well.

Sadly this is not uncommon. While this may be one of the worse I have seen, the fact is that hens kept for layers are not in good conditions. People want eggs and don't look beyond what is in that carton when they open it!!

It is situations like this that make me go when cottage industry laws say home raised should be viewed carefully due to health issues! WHAT? The major outbreaks of health issues are from the corporate farms.

Some USA farms do better -- still not great. However, family farms are going by the wayside and I doubt we will ever see them come back with force due to numbers of people to feed.

My hens free range all day & are cooped at night for predator control. My customers love the eggs I sell.

I'll private message you a link to the website of the charity I work with. They're great! They ask for donations sometimes, but mostly they are just happy to have you put word out and send emails to prime ministers and governments of countries asking them to change the laws regulating their country's farming practices. Some already did

At least they gas them. A lot of places grind them alive. They are working towards being able to sex the eggs before they hatch in the US, and only allow the females to hatch. It will be interesting to see how that goes.

Reckon this is where the "chicken" in dog food comes from?

That is possible. I don't know what they do with them after the fact.
