5 to 6 years
- B.
2 to 3 years
- C.
1 to 2 years
- D.
6 to 10 years
Correct Answer
B. 2 to 3 yearsExplanation
Battery hens are typically raised in intensive farming systems where they are confined to small cages and forced to produce eggs at a high rate. Due to the stressful and unnatural conditions they are kept in, battery hens have a shorter lifespan compared to free-range or backyard chickens. The average lifespan of a battery hen is 2 to 3 years. During this time, they are subjected to constant egg production, which takes a toll on their bodies and leads to health issues. After a few years, their egg production declines, and they are often culled or replaced with younger hens.Rate this question:
