The quality of air
It occurred to me yesterday, those of us who rescue ex-battery hens often talk of how they can then enjoy sky, sun, weather, worms, and so on… But we never make mention of the air.
Whether we keep chickens in towns and cities or the countryside, the air quality they take into their lungs from the moment they get out of the cages and out of the sheds in which those cages are kept, is massively improved over what they became used to from the moment they were hatched and carried on conveyor belts to be sorted, the poorly and disabled ones, and the males, removed like weeds.
