I am sure many of you have heard of 'cage free' eggs. Why would someone put eggs in a cage? Do they bite?

  • Well, the eggs fall where the chickens roost.  LOL!

    While it is goofy, I acknowledge that chickens are raised in horrendous circumstances.  I don't even eat chicken very often anymore.  The free-range chicken is expensive and the other/less expensive chicken was fed hormones and is the twice the size a chicken should be.  I used to like the fried wings (little drumsticks only) from a certain place but now they are as big as normal chicken legs so I know where they came from and can't eat them.  I love good chicken that is juicy and has very skinny strings, like thread.  That GMO and hormone-fed stuff .....  I just can't handle it.  I rather just have a scrambled egg.....from free roam chickens/hens.

    Man messed about with any types of foods is no good for anyone and totally against nature....who knows what terrible effects will come from eating and GM food products or the steroids and antibiotics that's fed to animals bred for slaughter...
    China now gives it livestock the latest antibiotics....now so many bugs are resistant to that to ....Greed and stupidity will eventually screw the human race ...
    Infections spread so quickly when any living bird ,fish or animal is kept in such overcrowded cramped conditions....it's all so inhumane as well.

    Its because of the wise old saying of yesteryear  ,that States it's ill advised to put all your eggs in one basket ,more so in the proceeding months before Winter or as you Yanks would say 'In the Fall' ....:)D

    You mean you never saw one of those cages eggs used to be shipped in?   
    So inhumane!  (they had a nasty habit of pinching fingers)

    The eggs I buy say 'pasture raised'. How can they be raised in a pasture if they never even got to hatch?

    The real nonsense is trying to label chickens and eggs organic.  That's my favorite.
