Laying hens become soup chickens

Patrick Gutenberg

I took the submitted photo in May 2024. It was created as part of a report for the Zürichseezeitung newspaper. My proposed photo was not published. Here is my caption: From the Blum farm in Schönenberg, Zurich, the laying hens become soup chickens when they are one year old, after laying around 300 eggs. Their heads and innards are used to produce biogas.
