I think that battery farm chickens can be fair or not fair because there are poor people who can't afford free range chicens. Whereas rich people can so its both ways really.

I think that battery farm chickens is not fair because they are not treat properly like free range hens.

Definitely no because they never see daylight. I think that they should be able to be free.

No one should ever be cruel to animals. We should respect animals.

Although it seems unfair for a battery hen to be kept in at all times, the hen knows no different life so it does not know what it's like to be free range and roam about outside.

Dear Mr Hattam,
I think that battery farming isn't fair because the chickens are getting locked up and they are not seeing any daylight. On the other hand, some people can only afford battery farmed chickens/eggs.
I hope my homework is good enough for you, Alex?

NO because Factory Farm Chickens dont see light and Free Range Chickens do see light!

No I don't think it's fair because factory farm animals might have a longer life if they could see day light.

I don't think it is fair because poor people only have one choice, battery farming. But rich people have two choices, battery farming and free range.

Battery farming is not fair because the chickens don't see daylight and don't get any fresh air.

No I dont think it is fair because the chickens are stuck in a little space all their lives...it is sad and I think it is a reely bad idea!!!

I think we need the battery chickens because people need a choice but I think they could be better looked after. You don't have to be cruel to have cheaper chickens!
