A hen previously rescued from Hutchinsons battery hen farm in South Morang, Victoria, Australia.
A majority of hens in this condition that are rescued from battery hen farms have to be euthanased.
Two Victorian animal rights activists hold a rescued battery hen from Hutchinsons egg farm at South Morang in Victoria. The rescue of this hen was conducted as part of a lucky Friday 13th rescue operation.
Rescued battery hens experience sunlight and grass for the first time, from the safety and security of their pet boxes.
Some sixteen hens were rescued only hours before this photo was taken.

This little ex-battery hen peers at the others to see what they are doing.
Often hens are reluctant to enter their new surroundings.
Ex-battery hens are gentle, intelligent birds who soon form a special bond with their rescuers and care-givers.
Two days after their rescue, these rescued hens scratch around in the dirt of their new home.
This rescued battery hen stands on grass for the first time. Her life is changed forever. No more cage for her!
