Chickens

The hybrid hens are a specially bred species that is used primarily in egg production. These chickens lay a particularly large number of eggs, but unfortunately they pay a high price for this - they often die at a young age. In the industry, they are slaughtered every year as soon as their egg-laying performance declines. Their further fate is sad: many of them end up as biomass for biogas plants or are simply disposed of as waste.

The Brahma chickens are one of the largest chicken breeds in the world and impress with their majestic appearance.
