Interesting. Why do people want retired hens? For meat?

Most likely for meat or just to save them.

I think the term retired hen holds true most places. Usually it means they are two years old and have passed their peak production. Most still lay eggs, just not enough for the commercial concerns to justify feeding and housing them. Given some of the red sex link breeds lay 300+ eggs a year if they layed half that in their third year they would probably outperform many heritage breeds.

I don't think many people get them to eat. Lots of those who do get them get for them for pets more than anything and to provide them with at least a couple of years of better conditions.

Thanks for those explanations, guys! @Shadrach, I know you've taken on many retired battery hens and I appreciate the work you're doing with and for them.
