There is an ugly truth about the eggs we consume every day. Chickens that lay these eggs spend most of their time in a small cage known as a “battery cage.” These cages are so small that the chickens are unable to spread their wings and loaf freely. They live their entire lives in cruelly small cages, never catching a glimpse of the outside or feeling the bright sun on their feathers. Chickens should not be living and no one likes to hear that they are.
To produce eggs quickly and cheaply, farmers keep chickens in battery cages. It is also much easier for farmers to tend to the chickens and gather the eggs when they are in these small cages. They can be fed and checked on more easily. But it’s a terrible business for the chickens themselves. There is not enough room to move, no way to have a happy life. That’s not what chickens deserve, many people believe.
Battery cages not only exploit the chickens, they can make them sick as well. Because chickens have very small cages, it can be very easy to get injured or get diseases that spread easily. They can become extremely stressed and unhappy, which has a direct impact on how often they lay eggs. If the chicken is under stress, it may not even want to lay any eggs at all. And since the cages are so tight, chickens do not have enough food and water all the time, that is really harmful to their health. They have to be able to eat and drink whenever they crane their heads to the sky to remain strong and healthy.
Battery cages harm chickens — and they harm our environment. And when chickens are packed so tightly into these cramped spaces, they produce a lot of waste. This waste can leach into the surrounding water and air—a bad thing for our planet. This can spread disease among the chickens, which may make their way to wild birds and other animals that live in the area, too; the crowded conditions in which chickens are kept facilitate this process. “I told him that if the environment is suffering, and it’s suffering because of the chickens, then not just the chickens will suffer, all living beings will suffer, and humans as well.
Fortunately, there are kinder alternatives for raising chickens that are also better for the environment. A few farmers are employing “cage-free” or “free-range” methods. A lot of chickens are able to roam around bigger areas, allowing them to run, flap their wings, and get some fresh air. They are able to eat food from nature and enjoy sunbathing. It may cost more for farmers to perform these methods but in the long run it makes the chickens healthier and happier. When chickens are happy, they tend to produce eggs that are safe for us to consume.
At Hemei, we believe chickens deserve to be well treated and that farming should be benevolent for the earth. We strive to ensure our chickens have ample space, clean air and natural food. We believe this creates better eggs and is the best choice for the chickens and the environment. Chickens can live their best lives when being raised in a proper environment.
