Feather loss

Many of the hens at the Wegmans Egg Farm suffer from severe feather loss, bruises, and abrasions due to being pressed against the wires of their cramped cages. Non-existent veterinary care means birds are often left to suffer with untreated, infected wounds.

This photo was taken from video footage of an investigation of the Wegmans Egg Farm conducted by Compassionate Consumers in the summer of 2004.
