International Respect for Chickens Day May 4, 2026

“Please do an ACTION for Chickens in May!” INTERNATIONAL RESPECT FOR CHICKENS DAY, MAY 4 is an annual project launched by United Poultry Concerns in 2005 to celebrate chickens throughout the world and protest the bleakness of their lives in farming operations. The entire month of May is International Respect for Chickens Month! Please do an ACTION for chickens on or around May 4. Ideas include leafleting on a busy street corner, holding an office party or classroom celebration, writing a letter to the editor, doing a radio call-in, tabling at your local church, school or shopping mall, hosting a vegan open house, or simply talking to family, friends or strangers about the plight – and delight – of chickens and how people can help them. Order posters & brochures at https://www.upc-online.org/merchandise/. For International Respect for Chickens Day posters, go to https://www.upc-online.org/merchandise/poster.html. May is International Respect for Chickens Month. Thank you for making every day Respect for Chickens Day!
