More and more, we’re interested in where our eggs come from, and whether the hens that lay them are ‘happy’. But how much do we know about what makes a good life for a hen? Where did our current ideas about hen welfare come from, and is it ever possible to measure hen ‘happiness’?
Wendy Hargreaves visits Kinross Farms in Victoria, and speaks to Regional Manager Ruben Dare and Farm Manager Brian Smith. We also hear from Dr Dana Campbell, a research scientist at the CSIRO specialising in hen behaviour, and Dr Hugh Millar, who spent 11 years as Victoria’s Chief Veterinary Officer.
