But I don't think the goodlife small holding types would be rearing battery hens and they did say pen not cages.
They may be battery hens that have been released from captivity and given their freedom on a smallholding. It happens a lot.

We had a smallholding in Wiltshire twenty years ago (I still get called Barbara Good or Felicity Kendal by old friends) and at one time we had five goats and up to forty chickens. I don't remember them ever looking bored but they were free range rather than penned up and could roam all over our half an acre.

Toys for chickens - almost as bad as sex toys...
