Here in our occupied center we have about 26 chickens, pretty fat and healthy, and they give us maybe 12 eggs a day, depending on the season. Sometimes they just go on strike.
They run free but are usually locked up at night in case of wild animals getting in. The yard is too small so we feed them kitchen scraps, old recycled bread and market veg, they love it! Sometimes they get a little grain, you can still find GMO-free here in Spain. We all take care of them so sometimes they get fed twice!
Every year we have plenty of chicks, and too many cocky cocks which we give away or.. eat them.. we’re not all vegans yet!
Keeping chickens needs time and work but it’s well worth it., also the clean-up makes great compost for the garden.
i’m reprinting photo comments from Farcebook below.

Naomi Van Clarke No hen should be treated this way. Chickens are intelligent, and quite sociable. I love my hens, and they love me back with tasty, healthy eggs.

Brock Frieszell For those that ask which are GMO: pretty much all animal feed on the market is GMO. The reality is it is still very hard to find GMO free feed for any livestock. With chickens most local people in any area will start them on some sort of feed if buying…See More

Amanda Noll Just realized that there is very negative media (for obvious reasons) against puppy mills so what will it take for these same standards to be held for all other animals?

Pat Muccigrosso That’s what a chicken that lives in a 6 inch – I said inch – square looks like before it’s killed and fed to our kids. Are we really going to keep supporting factory farming of living, thinking beings?

Cindy Sims Webb Outside of the fact that it is cruel to treat animals this way, think of how unhealthy they are and how that is what is going into your body. Many of these chickens spend a great deal of their lives with their bodies pressed together and on a floor of…See More

Teri L. Valentine Animals do not wish to be exploited on a farm or a factory farm. Go vegan. If you care about animal welfare this is your minimum standard.

Violet F Gottberg And when their servitude is done they are slaughtered for healthy chicken meals! How very sad. The same is the treatment of cows. Is the price of our conscience and physical health really worth the few extra dollars?
