Imagine being a tiny newborn chick with a broken leg and zero chance for help, pain relief, or recovery. The meat industry simply looks at them as expendable, minor losses in profit.

The image shows a close-up of a chicken inside a transportation crate, with their head sticking out through the bars. The chicken's feathers appear dirty, and the crate is made of red and green plastic, suggesting they're being transported, likely to slaughter. Above the image, white bold text on a black background reads, "The first time they see the sun is when they are taken to slaughter," emphasising the grim reality of factory-farmed chickens. At the bottom left, the website "www.herbivore.club" is mentioned, and on the bottom right, the photo is credited to "Andrew Skowron." The image conveys a powerful message about the life of chickens raised in confinement, who only experience the outdoors when they are being taken to be killed.

A charming and eye-opening exploration of the special relationship between humans and chickens from Sy Montgomery, “one of our finest chroniclers of the natural world” (The New York Times). Happy National Chicken Month! #LetsReadTogether #ChickenMonth

This image is titled "Life of a Chicken" and shows three stages in a chicken's life: - **Day 01**: A small chick. - **Day 42**: A fully grown chicken. - **Day 43**: A slaughtered chicken ready for consumption. The text below reads: "A chicken can live 10–14 years, but 99.9% of all chickens have been grotesquely bred to grow very large rapidly. They are slaughtered as soon as they reach market weight, 6 weeks after hatching. Remove your demand for cruelty." The image highlights the unnatural and cruel life cycle of factory-farmed chickens.

Every chicken is a unique individual that values their life as much as you do 🐔

This image, titled **"Reasons to Love Chickens"**, features an illustration of a chicken alongside a list of facts about chickens. The list includes: - They can recognize up to 100 faces. - They communicate with their baby chicks even before they break the shell. - They use more than 20 different vocalizations to communicate. - They purr like cats. - They are affectionate, sensitive, and smart. - They use their previous experiences to make future decisions. The image is from **Mercy for Animals** and highlights the intelligence and emotional capacity of chickens.

How many of these chicken facts were you already aware of? 🐔

This image features a photograph of a mother hen standing on grass. The accompanying text reads: **MOTHER HENS** begin communicating with their chicks before they even hatch! When the babies are still inside their shells, the mother hen clucks softly to them and they chirp back. In the bottom right corner, there is a logo for "Mercy for Animals." The overall tone of the image conveys the nurturing nature of hens and their bond with their chicks.

People are seen enjoying the park, with some taking photographs of the chickens and others walking around, observing the natural environment. The scene is serene, with lush green grass, tall trees, a pond, and birds flying overhead. The focus is on the harmonious coexistence between humans and animals, promoting respect for chickens as sentient beings. The image is credited to "www.herbivore.club."

This image shows a close-up of a chicken inside a cage, peering through the bars with a sad, resigned expression. The chicken is surrounded by other chickens in a cramped, dark environment. At the top of the image, the text reads: **"The first time they see the sun is when they are taken to slaughter."** In the bottom right corner, the image is credited to Andrew Skowron, with a small website link in the bottom left corner reading "www.herbivore.club." The image highlights the inhumane conditions in which chickens are often kept, emphasising the tragic reality that many factory-farmed animals only experience natural sunlight on the way to slaughter.

The image features a white chicken mid-flight with their wings extended, set against a background of green foliage. At the top of the image, bold white text on a black background reads: "WINGS ARE FOR FLYING, NOT FOR FRYING," conveying an animal rights message against the consumption of chickens wings. At the bottom of the image, the website "www.herbivore.club" is noted. The overall message emphasises the natural function of a chicken's wings, advocating for compassion towards animals rather than viewing them as food.

The average American eats 290 chickens wings each year, each taking the lives of 145 birds, or 72.5 if their wings are broken into two, as is sometimes the case 💔

The image shows a dimly lit scene from inside a large industrial farm. On the left side of the image, a chicken is peering out from a tightly packed crate or cage. The setting is dark, with rows of cages or equipment extending into the background, suggesting a cramped and industrial environment. On the right side of the image, there is bold white text that reads: "There’s no right way to KILL someone who does not want to DIE." The word "KILL" and "DIE" are emphasised with a slightly rougher, bold font. At the bottom right corner, the image is credited with the text: "Photo: Jo-Anne McArthur | We Animals," acknowledging the photographer and the organization associated with the image. The message conveyed is a strong statement against animal slaughter, emphasizing the ethical crime of taking the life of a sentient being that does not wish to die.

6 weeks old is considered "slaughter weight" 🐔

The image shows a large number of white chickens confined in metal cages inside what appears to be an industrial poultry farm. The cages are stacked in rows, and the chickens are packed closely together with little space to move. The environment looks cramped and sterile, with metal bars and wire mesh floors. A single egg is visible on the tray below the cages. The overall atmosphere suggests the setting of a factory farm where chickens are kept in intensive confinement.

The animal exploitation industries would rather not let you see this confinement and cruelty.
