Adopt an Ex-Battery Hen


An organisation called The Animal Sanctuary, located in Matakana (Just north of Auckland), fosters and re-homes battery hens.

"The Sanctuary often fosters battery hens that have come to us straight from the battery egg farm. These hens are less than a year old, but are scheduled to be killed after just one season of egg laying. Although they produce eggs for many years, all chickens regularly experience a break in laying, and the egg farmers don’t want to feed them while they aren’t producing."
