Yeah, I have no illusions about the suffering of egg laying chickens. Health complications from being bred to lay eggs daily are terrible. You can see the thin shells and pale yolks of factory raised hens with minimal nutrition. I can only imagine what that is doing to the bodies of those hens. Not to mention the culling of male chicks. I've found that if I focus on an absolute version of ethics, it becomes impossible to reach that standard. It's just plain depressing because the world contains endless suffering. In the meantime, if I just focus on small achievable changes, I can make some small difference. I can't save every chicken in the world from non-existent health care and the fact they have been bred to suffer for the sake of egg production. But I can try to help the chickens that lay eggs for myself. Whether they are the ones in my mom's back yard, or the local ones that sell to my grocery store and farm stall.
