Tonks #18 Chicken Adult - Adoption, Rescue for sale in Applegate, Oregon

Our September white Leghorn hens are from a factory egg farm in California. They lived the first 2 years of their lives in tiny, cramped cages, solely to produce eggs for consumer demand. They were de-beaked (had the tip of their beaks seared off) when they were chicks to prevent them from injuring other hens in their cramped quarters. When the hens reach 2 years of age, the egg farmers deem their egg production to be declining and they cull all of them to start over with younger hens. These hens are some of the lucky ones that were rescued by Hen Harbor in California.

Factory egg farm chickens are bred specifically for one purpose alone

to produce as many eggs as possible as quickly as possible. Because of this, and the lack of adequate care, these hens will never be as robust as most backyard chickens, and they usually have shortened lifespans. However, we believe they deserve the best life possible, and we think youll agree with us! Each hen has her own unique personality, and together they are so much fun and relaxing to spend time with. Come fall in love with these special little ladies.
