(9,360 posts)Pay a little more for eggs so you are not getting poor quality eggs from chickens who are living on top of each other and never leave the cage or see sunlight. These chickens get GMO grains with pesticide and many have antibiotics in their food. Great to buy eggs from local people or keep a few chickens. I have 4 chickens & a roo with lots of super healthy eggs.
" If the carton says certified humane it means the birds were raised in a manner that meets certification requirements of Humane Farm Animal Care. Laying hens must be uncaged and have access to perches, nest boxes and dust-bathing areas. Flock density is limited but birds are not required to have access to the outdoors. Beak trimming is allowed; debeaking is not. Starvation to induce molting is not permitted.
Many pay a lot more for certified organic eggs. This means the birds must be fed organic, vegetarian feed and cannot be dosed with antibiotics. Birds cannot be caged. However, birds may be debeaked and starved to induce molting. The amount of outdoor access to the birds is not clearly defined and on many organic farms, birds may have access only to a small concrete yard."
