A hen can become a household pet much like a dog or a cat. That is shown by Mieriņa, a hen rescued from a caged-hen farm, who now lives in the home of Katrīna Krīgere, head of the organisation Dzīvnieku brīvība (Animal Freedom).

From the countryside to an apartment

Mieriņa spent the past summer in the countryside. She now lives in an apartment, where she has her own perch to sit on.

Habits at home

The hen is comfortable around her owners and willingly stays close to them. She also looks at herself in the mirror and listens to the radio.

The source gives no further details about Mieriņa's daily life in the apartment.
