00:00The moment Blossom realized she finally had space to move, she just took off.
00:08You can almost see her processing it.
00:12First time seeing grass.
00:14Seeing her this excited just to be alive and free,
00:19it really reminds me that chickens feel so much more than people give them credit for.
00:25And it is honestly so amazing to watch her be this curious now
00:30because before Erica saved her, Blossom was barely surviving.
00:36She was one of millions of hens leaving the egg industry with almost nothing.
00:43I am Blossom.
00:45In the industry, hens like her are often called spent,
00:50which basically means that they're no longer considered useful for egg production.
00:57I don't know.
00:58I just feel like the word spent makes it seem like they have nothing left to give.
01:05And once Blossom started feeling better, her whole personality came out.
01:10Now she's not just rescued.
01:12She is fully a spoiled little pet.
01:15Do you have any banana bread?
01:21And that's exactly why Erica brings Blossom out.
01:25To show people that chickens are not just what they produce.
01:31Blossom is not the exception.
01:33She's the proof.
01:34Proof that chickens are all individuals.
01:37They have preferences.
01:38They have personalities.
01:40And they still have so much life left if someone just gives them the chance.
01:50They have psor-cum-cum-cum-cum-cum.
01:55They seem like me.
