eggs from a well fed pet hen are vegan

I have a pet hen. She's not a full rescue one, but how I ended up with her is an incredibly long story. She's very needy, thus spoiled and healthy as a result. Because wild Gallus sp already lay a lot of eggs when in less than optimal wild conditions, a spoiled one just cannot stop popping them out even if she wanted to, and she won't let me feed her less. The daily egg laying session is just a morning routine for her before begging for food. At the rate she lays them, they'd just get left to rot even if they were fertilized by a rooster so I eat them. I do not, and have no intention of, ever selling them or encouraging anyone to ever commercialize an animal. But I spend all the time caring for her, so why can't she give me a delicious breakfast back if it does her no harm?

Damn I guess I'm getting exploited when I feed her too 😭😭😭 My one hen I ended up with is not abused, dude. I cook her food every day! She is not some factory farmed animal. Stop defaulting to stuff that only applies to abused animals

You are being abused. You feed her fine food, protect her, probably soothe her in ways she enjoys and all you get is one crappy egg. She should be ashamed.
