Ylvi | Chicken

Ylvi was turned out because she had served her time as a laying hen. Laying hens are turned out when they are just under one and a half years old, which means that they are slaughtered or, if they are lucky, can continue their lives elsewhere - even if they don't perform. Consumers decide on…
