We have started a new page on facebook called Free Range Humans, so if you want to join and let your friends on facebook know all about Battery Hens, please come and say hello.
I'm so glad you saved them! They look so happy now :) I have pet chickens, too. This video made me want to adopt a rescued hen. I'll look for one next time I get a new hen. Great vid!
It is very sad but at the same time, the feeling of getting them out bring tears to your eyes. It's lovely to see them scratch in the soil for a dust bath and eat earth worms even tho they've never seen either. If u want to eat eggs, save hens and they'll lay 4u
Battery hens make the most fabulous pets because they're so appreciative. They have no delusions of grandeur as they have stood in the same space of about an a4 bit of paper for around 2 years. They have a wire base and sometimes they are stick as their claws curl around.
Aww They are sweet. The poor things have probably never even heard a rooster crow. Im glad they are happy now! I would adopt some if I knew how. I love my chickens. :)
It's wonderful to see them grow back into their beautiful feathered selves. It makes me happy to see that there are people who care about these creatures.
I want to someday have a home large enough to adopt battery hens and other abused avians, though this kind of thing is still almost unheard of here in Japan.
What a vile specimen you are Mr HairyBogTrotter. Why not crawl back in your bog. I bet you only watched it because you thought it was chicken porn and you're gutted because you sound like the gross freak that would do such a thing.
I'm a vegetarian so I would rather them live a happy life laying organic eggs for my family and friends and being able to stretch their wings, peck and scratch the ground and roll in the soil, rather than be caged with upto 5 other hens and spend and entire lifetime living in a space no bigger than an A4 sized piece of paper and standing on painful wire mesh and basically being there just as egg machines.
Do you really want to eat eggs from unhealthy hens? That's what you're getting if you buy eggs from caged or barn hens. Are those eggs really healthy for you to eat if they come from ill, anaemic hens?
@rosahlyn I agree, I have three ex-battery hens and they were really shakey and nervous when we got them. And now they wont leave me alone because I feed them at night :D! I think VOLK2234 is a moron, all hens should be free!

Really beautiful; great job, and thank you so much for saving them, and giving them a hapy and free life! :-)
I've saved 14 ex-battery hens myself too, and they're 're also now happy and freely scratching and walking around in our backyard.

Everyone who is saying they are vegetarian proudly, rethink that... I'm vegan and I would never eat any of their eggs.

They're so beautiful when their feathers grow back... You did a great thing!
Do you know of any battery hen rescue programs in the US? I've been looking with no luck so far...

Well bugger me!
"Re-homing" chickens? Have you lost your mind? Chicken don't have "homes" you spastics!
Just lop off it's noggin and start plucking.
Aside from the obvious spread of AIDS, it's people like you who are ruining Africa with your anti-homosapien crusade.

Chickens/any animal were not put on the earth for you/anyone to eat or abuse. You obviously have no respect for life.

Beautiful creatures! A very commendable thing you've done :-)
Let's hope one day none of them will have to suffer.

Thankyou....every home should have some for their own egg supply then the battery farms/barns would be virtually redundant.
