This is so very heartbreaking. I have known hens, and know they have character and individuality, and feel emotions.
This is a genuine animal Holocaust.
Even 'Barn' kept hens are not having a good life by any means. Barn hens are just one step up from cage hens. I live near a Barn egg producer, and wrote a thread a couple of months ago on this section about it -called "Barn Eggs -the Reality."
The animal rescue near were I live does rescue Caged hens, and they are often up for adoption, and taken on by people with experience in poultry-keeping, who will give them a completely new happy life.
