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.

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.

LOL what are you some chicken lover

Id rather eat them than making clips on youtube :)

[rosahlyn]

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?

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

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

Lovely to see such happy hens enjoying their retirement. Well done and love to the ladies : )

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!

@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!
