๐Ÿค Does purchasing eggs cause suffering for the chickens? ๐Ÿค

"Every egg consumed by a person was laid by a hen.

That hen might not have the life you think she does.

In reality, 98% of eggs come from overcrowded warehouses.

Layer hens are specifically bred for mass production - their reproductive systems are manipulated to lay 300 eggs or more a year. Before selective breeding, hens naturally lay 12-24 eggs a year. This unnatural number takes a tremendous toll on their bodies.

The vast majority of "cage-free," "organic," or "free-range" eggs still come from overcrowded warehouses. What you're paying for is just a label that benefits the industry, not the hens.

When chicks are being hatched to be used for egg laying, half of those are boys. Since they can't be raised to lay eggs and are too small to be meat chickens, they are killed on day one. For every hen, there's a male chick who has been killed.

Most layer hens are killed by the age of three because they're considered 'spent' (meaning they aren't producing as many eggs). And those not killed are likely to die from reproductive cancer or malnutrition.

Hens feel pain and suffer just like any other animal."

99% of U.S. Farmed Animals Live on Factory Farms

โ€œMost people are woefully wrong about where their [food] comes from.

75% of US adults believe they usually buy humane products, yet only 1% of food animals live on non-factory farms.โ€

About Pekva Eggs

The Pekva has a musical staff imprinted upon its egg. When this staff is read and played by a musician, it sounds like unharmonious nonsense though. Maybe the creature inside will bring forth a more intelligent song?

About the Pekva Creature

Despite the fact that the musical staff on its egg is essentially gibberish, Pekvas hatch and become the most musical of the songbirds in Ark. After intense study and observation by the Science and Research Center in Ark City, it is estimated that Pekvas spend nearly 80% of their waking hours chirping and singing songs. Likely as a result of this, Pekvas aren't awake as many daily hours compared to other birds of their size. In other words, Pekvas require a significant amount of rest to produce their original tune.

Pekvas are also remarkable in that they don't just repeat the same song over and over again. They're constantly learning new songs from other birds (including species other than the Pekva). They even have the ability to "splice" songs to synthesize something newโ€”part of how a Pekva produces a unique song is by taking two distinct parts from other birds' songs and putting them together. Each Pekva bird perpetuates this process forward so that there is always something new to listen to.
