The difference between a battery hen and a free range hen is that
battery hens are the most cheapest and effective way
of producing chicken. Most of the chicken we eat today
in Britain are from battery farms. In these farms the chickens live
in fours in cages with only metal bars to stand on and are
walking around in there own waste with a warm fan
to discard the smell. and they are kept there until they die.
Where as on free
range farms the chickens get the freedom of running around fields and
live a happy life before they are used as meat. But this option is slightly
more expensive and there for puts us off them. Free range is starting to
become more popular as of tele-vision programmes are starting to show people
what is happening behind the scenes and what exactly we are eating. This is
because Battery hens are a lot more hidden away and more confined and easier to
produce therefore making it more readily available Britain has
brought this on their selves having mostly battery chicken as we are looking
for cheaper and cheaper food sources all the
time.
