Has anyone ever realised that a battery cage is approximately the same size as a decent nest? Its pretty depressing that egg companies can still get away with this *sigh*

Anyway, since we all have our own backyard eggs I dont need to change your opinion, I just thought it was interesting that a nest and a battery cage are the same size (ish). Imagine keeping 5 of your hens locked in a nest box 24/7... You'd be in trouble!!

That's why I try so hard now not to buy eggs that come from chickens kept in such horrible conditions. I don't want to support that practice.

My bantams are raising chicks now so aren't laying. Their favorite treat, hens and chicks, is hard boiled egg. So I'm buying free range eggs to feed to my own chickens. I guess that makes me one crazy chicken lady, eh?
 
thats great you dont buy eggs from the store
i cant eat my own eggs until i make a nest box that lets the eggs fall away from the hens reach my hens are egg eaters
