Couple of questions thrown to the forum punsters and funsters.How would you know if a chuck was bored?
What toys would you give em?  |
Battery hens peck themselves and their 'co-prisoners', often to death. This is a sign of extreme stress due to the monotony of that sort of life. They don't need toys
- just what every living thing needs to thrive - freedom to move, see the sun, and breathe fresh air.
