It was on a sanctuary just outside of Washington D.C. and they had been rescued from an egg farm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the sun started to dip on the horizon I watched in wonder as a line of 10 hens walked into the barn unprompted and settled into their individual nest boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I couldn\u2019t believe how well trained the birds were, but the caretaker explained this was their natural behaviour. In the wild, chickens &#8211; or jungle fowl to give them their proper name &#8211; are on many predators\u2019 menu so take cover when the light starts to fade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally they would roost in trees overnight, but a cozy nest box inside a barn is a much safer choice if you have the option.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-55921 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Red-Junglefowl.jpg\" alt=\"Image of a red junglefowl chicken\" class=\"wp-image-86974\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Red junglefowl.

These beautiful birds live in forests across Southern Asia and are the wild cousins of domesticated chickens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re smaller than the chickens we farm (due to our selective breeding for bigger and bigger birds) and can live up to ten years &#8211; stark contrast to the chickens we eat who are slaughtered at just 5-6 weeks old, although many don\u2019t even survive that long.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-55907 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/large-broiler-chicken.jpg\" alt=\"Image of an unnaturally large broiler chicken\" class=\"wp-image-86975\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Domesticated chicken.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong><em>950 million chickens are killed in British slaughterhouses every year<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their lives could not be more different to their wild relatives. It will begin in a hatchery where giant ovens are used to incubate the eggs, no mother hens in sight. When they hatch they\u2019ll be sorted on a conveyor line &#8211; males to one side, females to the other, and those too small or weak to survive shipping to a farm thrown into a bin to be gassed or ground alive.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-55935 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/baby-chicks-hatchery.jpg\" alt=\"Baby chicks at a hatchery on a conveyor belt ready to be sexed\" class=\"wp-image-86977\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chicken hatchery.

It seems spacious &#8211; albeit barren &#8211; for these tiny little yellow fluffballs, but that soon changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generations of selective breeding have created birds who grow much faster and much bigger than they would naturally, so within two weeks the shed is overcrowded and the air reeks of ammonia from the birds\u2019 droppings which are piling up. Over the next few weeks the birds\u2019 bodies will continue to balloon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most will struggle to stand and breathe; many won\u2019t survive until slaughter.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-55949 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/factory-farm-chickens.jpg\" alt=\"Factory farm shed filled with thousands of chickens\" class=\"wp-image-86978\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">British chicken farm.

Adding insult to injury, more than a million chickens die in transport between the farm and the slaughterhouse each year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, more chickens die without ever reaching the slaughterhouse (or food chain) every year than all of the cows, pigs and sheep killed for food each year combined.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-29310 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/lame-chicken-factory-farm.jpg\" alt=\"Image of a lame chicken on a factory farm floor\" class=\"wp-image-86979\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">British chicken farm.
