I have been looking at another forum and found this....Hope some of find this of interest and can help.
Advert in the Metromon 18th June:
Thousands of free range chickens are being given away because their egg shells are too thin for supermarket shelves. Animal lovers have a month to claim the 13,500 birds before they are slaughteres for pet food. The 18-month-old chickens are being given up as they are too old for eating. Tara Maher from Brighton Animal Rescue said: "The birds will continue to lay edible eggs for six years or so."
