Hens on RSPCA Approved farms enjoy nests, perches, litter to dust bathe and enough space to move. Whether raised indoors or with access to the outdoors, there’s a focus on providing for layer hens’ behavioural and physical needs. Battery cages are not allowed under the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme.
RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme Standards are based on animal welfare science, RSPCA policy, leading farming practices in Australia and overseas and take account of the commercial realities associated with farming. Livestock industries and individual producers also provide input. The standards are reviewed every five years and are publicly available.
The RSPCA’s standards for pullets aim to improve the rearing and handling of birds before they reach the farm. While voluntary for now, the standards for pullets represent the RSPCA’s approach to developing standards that cover welfare from birth to slaughter.
