Another thought on BY chickens and eating eggs.
Most people eat eggs from the shop and therefore industrial farm eggs. Most chickens who live on a commercial farms have a very poor life. They have not much ‘coop’ space and often no outside space at all. The best commercial farms for chickens are the organic and the Demeter ones. In the Netherlands these farmers need to provide about 0,15m2 coop space and 4m2 space outside for at least 8 h a day.
If a person has chickens in his backyard and provides a little more space than required for the organic label it’s an improvement to the life of chickens as a whole. Because it means ‘we’ need less commercial chickens in cramped housing.
Assumption : the total amount of eggs humanity needs is the same.
I suppose the table speaks for itself even if you don’t speak Dutch or you have other labels in you’re country.

I like to give every BYC hobbyist that provides more space for their chickens than the average chicken has in the farms the benefit of the doubt. And like to see it as a positive contribution to the life of chickens.

) more variable than most other types of loaf I make, maybe because there are so few ingredients that each one really matters, and they vary in freshness, and the weather varies in temp and humidity during proving etc.
