What happens to the hens that are too old to lay eggs?
On many family farms the hens that are too old to lay eggs are used for food. Hens can lay eggs for years but after the third year most slow down so much that they are worth more to the family farm as food rather than continue feeding them. Hens at the large egg producing companies are sold off as meat birds just after they reach 2 years old. Here at Jadeacres we allow our hens to retire in comfort. We eat chicken, but not our own. Many of our original hens are still with us, even those who have not produced an egg for years.
