A sanctuary for farmed birds with a focus on roosters
We rescued these sweet, lovely hens, who began their lives being used for eggs at a breeding facility.
They were rehomed to an egg farm when they were no longer needed for breeding. When their egg production started to decline, they once again faced the prospect of slaughter.
Many of them had suffered the torture of being severely de-beaked, a cruel and painful process.
Luckily, these beautiful hens were given the opportunity to live healthy and happy lives at the sanctuary, but countless chickens aren't so fortunate.
The breeding facility, where they were kept in darkness and cramped conditions, served customers ranging from industrial scale egg producers to backyard chicken keepers.
Please don't forget these hidden victims of the backyard chicken-keeping trend.
The parent and grandparent birds are important and often overlooked when we speak of farmed birds. These parents are culled systematically in order to control the bloodlines. They are cruelly de-beaked and kept in dark, cramped sheds until their time is up. Eventually, they are all killed in the most economical way available. Breeding facilities for these parent and grandparent birds provide offspring for customers ranging from the smallest backyard farmer to the larger operations. Please don’t forget about them. The hens below were set to be killed at the breeder facility, to control the bloodlines. Instead, these hens were sent to a small-scale egg operation and used for egg production until their production declined, and then, once more, set for slaughter. All of the males had already been killed, as no egg operation, no matter how small or how large, has the need for males.
