Every hen is an individual, each with her own unique personality. Just like us, some hens are shy, others are confident. Some live for adventures, while others just like to hang out with their friends. But no matter what their differences, all hens have one thing in common: they suffer immensely in cages.
Trapped in cramped, factory-farm cages, there isn't even enough room for hens to spread their wings — let alone engage in normal and natural behaviours like dustbathing, sunbaking, foraging, or building a nest in peace and privacy.
That's why companies the world-over are responding to community concern about animals and ditching cage eggs.

Urge major companies including Pizza Hut, Dominos, and Qantas, to make a public commitment to be cage free.
[1] Metcash have a public commitment to be cage free by the end of 2018 for their private label range only.
