Cecily (RIP)
Cecily is an ex “barn laid” hen, which in my opinion and experience, is only marginally better than the cage hens. Cecily lived in a shed which was filthy and dirty with particles so thick in the air you would cough just being there. She lived with at least 100 other birds in the one area where they roosted and ate. At the age of 18 months Cecily was considered a ‘spent’ hen and was set aside to be killed along with the rest of the barn hens she shared with. Luckily for Cecily and 40 or so others, she now calls Big Ears her home.
Sponsorship of $35.00 a year for Cecily will go towards her health treatments for worms and mites to keep her healthy.
