Rescued Hens See Snow for the First Time

- Animal Place intern Andrea White captured these precious moments of hens rescued from battery cages experience snow for the first time. In July, Animal Place rescued 3,000 hens, saving them from being gassed by an egg farm - standard practice when hens reach the age of 1-2 on egg farms.
If you want to help animals like these hens - consider veganism. So long as hens are seen as "egg factories" and commodities, they will be treated with callous disregard as will their brothers. Male chicks are all killed when they are born - 150-200 million a year.
The hens shown in this video are available for adoption into permanent, loving homes: animalplace.org/adoptable_bird...
Camera: 150$
Cost per bag of food: 20$
The look on the hens' faces upon seeing snow for the first time: Priceless
They should totally make that commercial
Poor little guys are alarmed
Chicken is so good with hot sauce!

Lead hen: "C'mon ladies, let's go!!!! Whoa! Wait a minute! What sorcery is this?"
Hahahahahha
These are all rosters
Egg farmers don't control how the chickens are kept.
@@uabir8338 no, they are not. Hens have the red Crest on their head too, you fucking genius. I own chickens. Roosters dont lay eggs.
@@uabir8338 Those are hens, dumbass. Is it that hard to read the title?
Their very first time? This is so touching to watch. They’re getting a chance to walk around and discover life as a chicken instead of life as a commodity in a tiny, dirty, dark cage. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks to you for saving their lives. 🌟

Ooooooh! My very favorite most haunting, disturbing, old masochist who delighted on delicacies like children. Mr. Albert Fish.
@albert fish Studies show chickens experience more stress free range than in cages but I would support free range because it's more natural.

If I were to be slaughtered as food with zero chance of escaping, I would rather have the best life possible not knowing I was gonna die and then killed the most quickest and humane way possible.
@albert fish Free range is anything but. It's "pasture raised" you wanna look for, and even then, technically they only need to be allowed out into a tiny little 2" outdoor patio to qualify for that designation.

i don't understand, if vegan really care about this farm animals, why not attacking big corps like mcD, KFC, burger King. but instead blame people. no wonder you guys failed
They are so lovely, clean healthy feathers and their fire engine red combs....thank you to those who rescued these gorgeous girls...
They all males
Nvm
Wow, they got free tasteless ice cream
Deadpool The Psycho they’re leghorn hens, that’s the way their comb and wattles are
@@abigailmackie8997 they really do look like males, though they said it all females. I still have my doubts tho.
Look at all those chickens!
Ha from that vídeo where a girl calls ducks chickens

You can see that they have been de-beaked, a horrible, painful process. But it does look like they are appreciating their new freedom and the wonder of snow!
It's very sad but true, they came from a standard egg farm that had them horribly de-beaked at the hatchery. It definitely puts them at a disadvantage, but they make do with what they have. They don't let it slow them down at all.
Should get someone to donate a shit load of 3D printed beaks to glue on
AnimalPlace How do they eat?
@@AnimalPlace why do they do that? debeak?
@@HassaanALal Hens will peck each other, especially when they are stressed. Crammed in a tiny cage, they pick on the weakest who can't get away. Debeaking treats the symptom, pecking, instead of the cause, stress and improper housing conditions
Wow, they are so sweet and cautious... they deserve a happy life
You look cute.
@Freeda Birda They deserve to live.
No they dont
@@smog1774 shut up troll
They deserve to live the best lives they can until we slaughter them and we should not slaughter them in front of another chicken. God made some animals so we could eat from them. In the past, we would not have survived winters without sheep wool. Some humans need to eat meat to live since some of us can't digest most vegetables, we just vomit it back out while trying to digest.
All the animals are beautiful and they deserve better lives like us!! Thank you for saving and caring them!
@Gautam nah, I'll go with Christianity instead. we live in a fallen and broken world where everything ultimately dies. veganism won't save you or these animals.
we should punish those who abuse and mistreat animals but in this broken world, we have to kill to eat. whether it's plants or animals.
They were seemed to be materials for KFC
@@pmame32 that is the reason,I do not contribute my hard earned money towards the people and their businesses that see animals as product and exploit them for money. I live my life with compassion. Animals are here with us not for us.
@@SushilKumar-hp1xq l'm sorry. You are a better man
@albert fish killed naturally by an animal makes sense. Humans exploit animals.
egg farmers with battery hens often claim hens dont like to be outside... what a stupid thing to say... they even LOVE to be outside when its cold or wet.. :) ur video proves that well!
You guys are very smart to make that observation and connection... now you know people and companies that profit off of animals do heinous violent acts against those who cannot speak or defend themselves and brazenly tell lies to keep the public stupid while pursuing their greed!!
I'll just get my own hens!
my hens spend all day everyday outside they love it! they especially love exploring the neighbors yards lol
Our hens don’t like rain.
I live in tropical Laos. The first time I visit the USA in Washington State, I saw snow falling on the ground. I acted very cautious and amaze like the chickens in the video.
Chickens: where is the grass and bugs?
exactly they are just looking for food or something.
I love all of the chattering as they investigate the snow.
1st chicken out is like “hang on guys whoa up!!.......wtf🤔”.
2nd chicken ;
"Where are my boots" ??!!
3rd chicken ;
"I need my gobble hat" !
4th chicken ;
"Let's go skiing" !!!!
❄🐔❄🐓❄🐔❄🐓❄🐔❄
Love from Norway 💖
And
I'm sure that
I had a hen who would struggle through the snow just to get to the porch, then cry until I came out to pick her up out of the snow and warm her feet with my hand as I carried her back to the coop with the other hens. She 'd only do it once a day, but she was my buddy and knew I would always come for her.
I should have had the sound on when I watched it the first time. The cooing and trilling are sounds of interest, joy and contentment :o)
cute!!
So when did you eat her.
How funny!!🐔♥️
That's sweet.
first chickens: woah what's dis?
other chicken: OOOOOH WE WANNA SEE MOVE!!!!
LOL pretty much!
I don't know , they appeared to be to white hens to me
@@dannyc.jewell8788 what?
@@Schweppesale What , is correct I have no recall of making this comment , this is something I have started to see on Y T
@@dannyc.jewell8788 uh huh
They are so sweet and beautiful, hens have friendships with each other and love to get pet, you can even give them names and they will listen
Their expressions and vocalizations are priceless. Great video
Thank you!
Does it not freeze their little feeties?
Since this was their first time experiencing snow, they were just enjoying the new experience. They have areas in their barn and their pasture free of snow, and those are their hang-out spots. Luckily it does not snow here too often so they don't have to deal with ongoing snowy conditions.
+Crystal Ed Makes me want to hurry up and crochet 3,000 pairs of chicken booties.
Hahaha where do you adorable women reside? Need more of you out there.
are you going to keep these chickens living for a very long time?
Especially since they are not used to this climate naturally(?)
Birds look really healthy. Kudos to Animal Place!!
Look at all those lil dinosaurs!! They're so cute!!
Such sweet souls. I wish life was more fair for them. Thank you for rescuing them!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have 9 chickens, they are dear, sweet loving pets, that are ust as capable of emotions as humans, at least most humans. Because these hideous factory farms obviously have no compassion for their fellow animals. People tend to think of them as eggs machines and food. Oh how I wish this would change.
+Penny Ryan me too, so sad. I am really think of starting a rescued chicken sanctuary when I get the time and land for it.
+Rahul Menon, l recently lost 4 of my hens I am devastated. I believe a snake is responsible..Inow have 3 roosters and 4 hens. I wil be getting more hens as this is a difficult situation keeping roosters apart. It was ecouraging to hear somebody else who sees clearly they are way more than eggs and food. What sweet little critters they are. Even my roosters are sweet raised with love.
i am so sorry for your loss of your sweet pets. Yes I agree with you fully, chickens are sweet, incredible beings.
Amazing little sweethearts, just imagine life from each one of their perspectives. And people choose to think of them as mindless meat/egg machines from looking at them "just sitting there," crammed into those vile cages people disgracefully constructed, speaking of mindless machines.
That's why we hope more people will watch this video. It's hard to think of them as mindless when you can see such unique reactions from them...some are bold while others are more tentative.
AnimalPlace In addition to that, generations of being kept confined in horrible cages with nothing to do but sit there and suffer, and still their bright little souls shine through, no matter what people think they've been "reduced" to for convenience. Thank you for your reply; yes, here's hoping more and more people will actually *see* each one of them.
+AnimalPlace Chickens have personality, but they are chickens. Plus what good is it to buy chickens that were to be slaughtered if more will be slaughtered at the same place the next day? What did you really accomplish, besides giving yourself more animals to play with. Your a joke and I hope people see that you pride yourself on animal rescue, when in fact your just taking donation money to fufil your animal hoarding instinct...
+Slim Jesus as they say, this act of kindness wont change the world, but it changed the world for each one of those chickens. I think its pretty neat.
Slim Jesus What sort of a person are you? Wow. Every life rescued is a good thing. Every life reduced by humans to being grown as a product and slaughtered is a terrible, terrible injustice...not the doing of Animal Place...they promote veganism and I for one am grateful for people promoting veganism, since they convinced me and that's something I will always cherish.
"we're free everyone!!"
2 seconds later....
"what dafuq!!"
Really?
Look at how gorgeous their feathers are now, silky and buffed up.
The floor is lava, the floor is lava!

It is fascinating to see the hens trying to work out what this new white stuff is. Their reaction is priceless and oddly enough, I have a story which features a similar human reaction.
In 1973, while I was attending a Canadian college, just north of Toronto, one of my fellow students was from Jamacia. She had no previous exposure to snow and reacted much like the hens did in the video after our first snowfall that year.
Her level of confusion and uncertainty was pretty amusing to Canadians. She was more than just a little intimidated by snow, a fact that was clear enough by her terrified reaction when hit with a snowball.
In fact the hens in the video adjusted to snow much more quickly and with less panic than did my Jamacian friend.
They cannot believe their eyes, at some points it sounds like they’re crying. I worked at a poultry farm with my parents, I’d handle baby chicks. I always felt bad for them, they looked scared, crowded, and sad. They would try to run away only to be caught again and out back into their cramped cages.
Beautiful of you to have empathy for them :)
their lives are literally being stolen from them.
@@fromeveryting29 agreed
Thank you for sharing your story OP
that is why we Muslims give our livestock more space and give them a healthy diet before they are slaughtered. In fact, factory farms are actually banned in most Muslim countries and are not allowed to kill baby chicks just because they are 'Infertile'
@@bluecow7883 That is certainly better for those animals, but halal slaughter is also the most violently brutal there is. And also, giving animals more space, better food and longer life spans is so resource demanding that it is impossible to sustain. It's basically the most damaging, destructive and unsistainable way to produce food we can imagine.
@@fromeveryting29 I do believe that most slaughtering is done in factory farms, this giving more produce. Although it is a very brutal way of doing it. We always sharpen our knives and cut the throat of the animal as then it would feel little to no pain (by my observations, the brain is being cut from the rest of the body) This would all be very useful if the overall population was less but alas, it is not and we resort to factory farms. Which are much more easier to sustain.
They look amazing compared to what they looked like when they arrived. Thank you for saving them 😊❤️
Their obvious confusion and curiosity is just a testament to how intelligent and sentient non-human animals are, especially chickens. It is just a joy to watch them explore the world.
We humans are not animals. Animals do not have souls, and they just stop when they die. But, unlike us, they are sinless.
@@jeanhodgson8623 We are animals, as in from the biological classification "animalia". You're just hung up on the colloquial understanding and shouldn't be weighing in with your nutty ideas about souls and sin.
@@jeanhodgson8623 nonsense. Maybe according to your religious upbringing. There are other religious groupsand thoughts which consider all living things to have a soul. By the way humans have evolved from apes, monkeys, which are technically animals.🤣
And then we eat them
@@quark31 not literally apes but a similar species to them..... Humans are not apes you idiot.... Ask yourself if you are living in wild LoL 😂
Just something about seeing a hoard of chickens being happy touches my heart... I feel bad eating them now :(
Then don't.
+VirusInferno It's difficult but once you start not eating meat, you start to question why you didn't do it sooner. Trust me, it's worth it.
Eat lots of delicious food,like fruit,vegetables and nuts.Don't forget microgreens.
There's always a cycle no worries :)
Then stop eating it, or only occasionally can already help a lot
"What the cluck?" - a chicken
They seemed so confused 🤷♀️ but my aren’t they just gorgeous
Thank you! Gods precious little creatures
They seem so confused aha, so cute.
They look healthier!!!!! THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the barn
"i cant wait to get out of this place!"
outside (the first 20 seconds)
"what do we do"
made my day
I mean seriously why would someone hurt these animals ever. They are so precious and sweet and curious and so fun to watch hahaha 😂

They are so adorable. I love them and I love watching them chat amongst themselves. They are adorable, beautiful, inquisitive and free, thanks to you. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us 💜💙🙏🏾💚💛
So happy you saved them. May God Bless you.

Some are way brave! Look at that one "pioneering" hen! This is truly touching, heartfelt, and beautiful! I wish others could FEEL, Understand, and be tolerant. I love watching Animals discover new, wondrous things in their World. It's ALL of our World, and we have a great responsibility to take care of it, along with it's creature inhabitants. C;
so sweet seeing them exploring ...
I wish I had the room and space to rescue this many chickens :) I currently have 9 hens
The ones in front look like they think they've been punked. The ones in back, "Hey, what's the hold up?"
They are walking with caution not in a hurry until a couple of Brave one taste the sweet snow.
a
Hara .....cool,save the Animals.
love how they all go to charge out then stop as if to say (hang on this dont look right somehow) lol
I have different breeds of chicken but I have two leghorns like these ladies. They both have crazy little personalities and make me chuckle.
All their heads together moving in different ways is so cute 😍
Chickens were my first pets and I will forever love them 😻
I never thought of this aspect.....bless their tiny hearts!!,
This is so lovely, it warms my heart. I can feel that beautiful crisp winter day.
One goes ''Cold''
Everyone ''Cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold cold''
Makes me think of Jack Skeleton singing "What's This!?" ❤️🐔❤️🐔❤️
"Hey up in front, move out of the way!" Wonderful video. I always wonder how some people can treat animals so terribly.
They seem incredulous at first that they're free to go outside. Seems to me they really began to enjoy this little burst of play time. I love it. ❤
This is one of the most beautiful sighs I have ever seen. Look at them, just amazed at what they are seeing,snow....
Finally FREEDOM...and then WHOA not so fast!!!! Very cute! :D
😁 once again compassion and love shine bright, thank you.
What beautiful creatures hens are.
Those in front: "WHOA!, WAIT! What's this?"
Those in the rear: "Never mind, MOVE! Let's go!"
Those in the rear push forward see snow "WHOA! WAIT! What's this?"
LMBO. I love animals, so honest.
They don't know what's going on. They probably think the ground disappeared.
Awww I've always loved chickens
Seems like they all did a collective "wtf"
Its like watching your kids in snow for the first time. You can just see the wonderment and awe in their eyes.
Such a special moment to be a part of!
Me: ........................................................
.........HAHAHAHAHAAHA JUST LOOK AT THEIR LIL HEADS HAHAHA
HAMILTON FREN SCREEEE
Love seeing and hearing them outside 😂
Awe bless their hearts. They looked so scared and have already been through so much that it was hard to trust what to happen Next , but faced their fears and tried new things and just had to lean not on their own understanding but test the ( frozen )‘waters 😂 and venture forward ... and as soon as the others who were also afraid saw that it was ok when the first few made it across the Ics cold threshold , they began to feel safer about also braving the new experience... it shows us a lot about life , no matter if it’s a bird or human being under new conditions , especially after being afraid to face the new , when weve known trauma In our lives .... such a special message can be found in this ... it also did just hurt my heart thinking about how
They have likely been all too glad just to survive
So many times , Already in fear of so Much around them . It was visible not Just a sigh of relief , but a joy that Came over them , when they realized everything was still ok and that they’d reached this milestone , unknown and unseen . And it saddens me that an animal meant to be among the wild would’ve never even known at all, the conditions of nature they’d have instinctively been ready to experience had not been for their lives being altered by captivity ... I just bet they’ve seen and endured a lot. Good for them !
Imagen if they were like "Nope, too cold...back inside everyone"
That’s what mine did!! Saw the white and felt that cold wet feeling and turned around and went back in their coop and refused to come out till I shoveled a bare area for them to stand on!!🤣😂🤣😂
Mine were like that. Even if I shoveled outside they wouldn’t even touch the ground.
@@Anna-pj8te 🤪😅😁😛
Jetzt, in 2020 sie so wie so alle, gegessen sind.
There’s so many!!! I love how they stay together
A battery farm closed down when i was a kid in Australia.
They were selling all the hens for 50c each so my Mum and Dad bought 40 of them.
About half died within a few weeks due to the shock and the fact that they were already in pretty bad shape unfortunately. The remaining ladies stayed with us for years and years and lived much better lives.
Most of them never grew back a majority of their feathers or had wonky legs but they were all so sweet and trusting despite the horrible treatment they had endured.
Beautiful clip! Thanks for all the amazing work you all do for so many animals
Thank you!
They reminds me of Meeseeks
First hen out the coop: Everybody STOP!!! LOOK AT ME!
The first wave of chickens that came out: They're like... "What the heck???"
2nd wave of chickens came out from behind...
First wave of chickens: Hey don't push...
The 2nd wave of chickens that came out: They're like... "What the heck???"
Cycle continues...
Unoriginal comment
@@sharepremium8614 Thank you basher! It doesn't really matter because the video is so funny that it made me think about that comment.
😂😂😂 That's what I was thinking too!! Let's be "unoriginal" together 🤣
So sweet to watch.. freedom to play in the snow, walk around, and finally live FREE..
Thank you for adopting these beautiful girls! This has inspired our family to pick up a couple birds from an egg organization too, after having had pet chickens for more then 2 years.

nice backround mist in the video.
very cool!
Brought up in England with free range hens. They have real personalities for sure!!
Thank you for saving them and shining a light on how we need to stop animal torture for our consumption 🙏🏼
My old mother now aged 93 had some free hens home in her childhood. I love how she speaks of them, their habit what they are fond of.. i would have some - to love them - if only i could go back to land.. i am no longer young either .. and I eat eggs only coming from hens out of bio farms with serious certicate and fulfilling far more than the european union asks for to grant a bio label. I do here no compromise and pay the high price
You are never too old to move to the land
@@gerundet7837 money maybe
I don't buy food products from inhuman people or companies too
I wonder how long it takes them to go all back into the barn
Thanks forhelping the lovelies
I am so glad these chickens were rescued. I hope their feet don't get too cold.
After 7 years since this video was uploaded
(2020) People in comments:
"They are hens"
"No they are roosters"
😂😂😂😂
I think these hens must have been removed from the battery cages some time ago as they all seem to be fully covered with feathers. Ex-battery hens in other videos seem to have large bald patches and hardly any feathers at all when they've been more recently removed. This is especially so when battery conditions produce aggressive behaviours such as plucking the feathers from other hens. The method used to prevent this behaviour is to trim their beaks; awful!
Glad to see that these ones appear to be in a healthier state. Well done to those who removed them from the battery farm! For anyone who would like some clarification on labelling and where their eggs come from in the UK, the RSPCA has a useful information page:

So precious! So wonderful! Thank- you!!!
After having four rescue hens who came on so beautifully The abuse of these Has To Stop
Like Jack in The Nightmare Before Christmas,
"What's this? What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming?"
I get the impression they don't like the snow because it's cold on their feet. They rush to get under the tree where there is less snow.
They are like What the f... Bless them freedom tastes sweet..@COLD SNOW ❄️❄️❄️❄️. ❤️🙏🏼❤️
I have 2 chickens that are going on 6 years old. Their egg production has pretty much stopped yet they (plus my 10 new chickens) take all my table scraps so I don't throw food away. Their manure is great to compost for my garden. Lastly they are very entertaining to observe. Having backyard chickens is very rewarding.
