GM Hens lay eggs to fight cancer

I think this is wonderful.

I have heard of people running marathons for charity, and people swimming for miles for sponsorship. I have heard of men shaving their beards off [but not me] for the charity of their choice.

But to hear the poultry world is getting in on the act is heartening. I presume they are sponsored by the egg?

I’ll never eat a GM Hen as long as I live.
