This rescued hen would likely have been culled in other farms because she can't eat as easily as others in her flock, so she's less productive as a layer. Her top-half of her beak was bit off by an aggressive rooster where the male-female population was grossly out of balance. Gader Ministries Trust has adopted her, and she's still eating and laying eggs as of February 2020.
