Chicken Physiology

Hens have ovaries
a bit like we have
females, I mean
not me, actually
eggs not being fertilized
are really a
chicken’s periods
so for me
I never knew
the anatomy
but couldn’t bring
myself to eat a yolk
chickens have a bad time
generally
those battery birds
well life for them’s
no joke.

beaks seared off with
a hot blade
claws then crudely
also cut
done without anaesthetic
the case open and shut
its causing immense agony
and some alas will die
made to live in cages
where they definately
can’t fly
where they dare not ever flap
their wings
and an egg is full on fat
and a bell inside me rings
fat, cholesterol
its clearly unhealthy
that’s for sure
and, if it was fertilized
there’d be a chick outside
my door
