My Report.




Hens:
Hens are members of bird families. There are differences between caged chickens, barn chickens and organic hens.

Cage Hens:
Caged hens are always inside at all times. There are usually 6 hens per cage. Hens are gripped onto the caged instead of the cage been flat and straight. The hens in the cage don’t really get that much space. Also never get to exercise.They use an electric wire so the hen don't get back to their eggs. Most of our eggs are laid by hen that never leave their cage.There are 450.000.00 hen inside a farm. As soon as the hens lay their eggs, they roll down onto the egg belt. All caged eggs are all fresh but NOT the same to the rest.


Barn Hens:

1200 hens lay about 3 million eggs a day.  Hens perch at the grass. The hens flap their wings to stretch. They eat about 20 gram of grass each day. They dust bathing so they can get the dust under their wings so it can get any bugs and mites they might have. Chickens that don’t dust bath is kind of weird, it’s like not having a bath for years. Without shade and protection from hawks,chickens just don’t like to go outside.


About 920,000,000 eggs, get eaten from New Zealanders per year.
