Mistreatment of Egg-Laying Hens

So-DH was watching a undercover report of the treatment of Costco's egg laying hens, and I have to admit it was awful.  DD saw it and got upset.  She wants to know how we can help the chickens.  This spring we got our own chickens for eggs, so I told her that by having our own chickens and not buying eggs from the store we're doing our part. 

She wants to do more and pitched the idea of starting her own newspaper so she could write about the chickens so that other people would buy their own chickens too.  Any ideas for age appropriate activities for a 6 year old for animal activism?

  • not sure but good for her!  Of course, chickens do eventually stop laying eggs and then you have to decide what to do with them.

    I am pretty proud of here, which is why I want her to feel like she can make a difference somehow.  As for the chickens, they'll just continue to live until their natural (as long as they're in good health/not sick/suffering) end of life.
