All the images of wet eggs in this video is an uniquely American phenomenon that I didn't realize until I left the US. The US requires eggs to be washed to protect against salmonella, so then they have to be refrigerated because the protective "bloom" from passing through the hen has been washed off. In the rest of the world, we don't wash eggs so they don't need to be refrigerated until we get them home. This forces the producers to practice better hygiene and conditions for the hens in the first place.

They wash eggs because Americans like them eggs clean and smooth off feces. Because of that, the protective layer is fone and the egg is more prime to salmonella.

[@merrymachiavelli2041]

Yeah, the blunt truth is that truly ethical eggs would have to be _much_ more expensive than they are now. Even organic or free-range egg producers tend to euthanise hens after they stop laying (which is very early in their lifespans). Plus all the excess male chickens which are typically killed as chicks. Whilst I'm glad welfare standards are generally improving, most animal agriculture inherently involves killing animals very young, and for those animals to live truly happy lives for the brief time they get would necessitate animal products being so expensive they couldn't really be a dietary staple as they are now.

I like that the country is shifting to more humane practices with animals. My ex husband used to work on a chicken farm and the conditions for both him, and the chickens, were deplorable. Tyson puts all chickens in a massive "coop" when they are chicks. Over the coming 2 months the lights slowly get turned down to the point of complete darkness. To make them not move as much because light generates more activity and they get depressed and just want to eat and get fat. In addition, many chickens commit suicide by pecking themselves to death and others that are "defective" (blind, broken legs, etc) are all culled. They are force fed with steroids to make them grow up faster and by month 2 they are fully grown. Most normal chickens are not fully grown for 8 months - 1 year. It was horrendous so I'm glad to see the laws changing. As far as costs go, that farm was in millions in debt because Tyson demanded certain upgrades yearly. If you didn't upgrade, they lost the contract. Upgrading also meant more debt and what the farmer made paled in comparison to the yearly "needed" upgrades. Add to that the actual worker barely making a liveable wage and the whole system is just miserly. I don't think that the owners of these businesses should make more than half their lowest paid employee. It would help curb the wage gap and corporate greed.

@@masonkent9468 cats can become territorial especially when they are not fixed and you have a mix of females and males. When they are fixed in a later stage, they can retain their territorial instincts (like a cat who was a mother will learn to shoo most cats that get too close, or a tom cat will chase out other toms and dominate the females). Cats in general clusters have a loose heirarchy system and top cats can mess with lower ranked cats as well as lower-mid ranks can fight for higher rank position and gain territory/food or possessions. If the boys smell a female in heat they can become especially aggressive. For the most part though, most cats that are fixed eventually learn to co exist as long as there's no unstable additions of cats, animals, and subtractions of furniture. If their needs are met, they often don't have many territory disputes.

Free-range and cage free aren't much different than caged, so there should be very little difference in cost.

Now if we start talking pasture raised and humane certified then the costs go up.

[@kylesmith8128]

As a chicken owner, I think there's a huge difference between caged and the others. For one, eggs taste better when they get exercise and better food (foraging insects and seeds). But the main thing is, packing animals in tightly is unethical and ALSO PRODUCES ILLNESSES that then spread at a global scale due to our modern airline industry.

[@briand5379]

You seem to be under the impression the birds have a lot more freedom than they really do just because there's not a cage. When it comes to cage free, they are guaranteed no more space than caged, the only difference is they're not in a cage. So what big chain companies do is put birds on a shelf that's open at one end, stack them 4-5 layers high and put obstacles in front of them to encourage them not to jump. Free-range is the same as cage free, the only difference is they have a door open to the outside somewhere, it doesn't mean the bird goes outside. When they're humane certified or pasture raised, that's when the birds start getting some guaranteed rights like 1.5 sq ft per bird, 2 sq ft of outside space and 108 sq ft of pasture. With those guaranteed rights comes a better quality product. So the best eggs will be your free-range and pasture raised certified humane, which is probably what your birds would be considered.

they keep saying it's a "low margin" industry yet their annual profit growth and company valuation doesn't suggest that. Especially when you consider that these companies have a monopoly in the industry, they can more than adapt to cruelty free practices without passing that cost to consumers.

[@AlexMint]

"low margin" may mean a profit of $.20/doz under ordinary circumstances, but the sheer volume more than made up for it.

[@masonkent9468]

Yeah they're for sure low margin, but huge quantity so it makes up for it,

Every store is overstocked on eggs some are even spoiling, due to prices and no one buying them. This is what I'm seeing and when talking to folks in stores, "they are going to waste now"

[@masonkent9468]

Then over supply should end up lowering the prices once they are sure they wont sell the quantity they need to or somehow they will ramp up advertising to sell more. We shall see, good old supply and demand should deal with it.

[@samsonsoturian6013]

Yeah, supply problem is going away so there's an overcorrection going on.

Those conditions look terrible. I’m no vegetarian, but I know that I should feel guilty supporting the production of caged eggs. In the U.K., free range eggs are a norm, with 60% of all eggs now being free range but even this needs improving. The US stat is appalling for a developed and high income nation.

Cage grown hens are rare in these parts. They are running in a house with nests. I appraise poultry farms and in 30 years I have seen exactly 1 caged operation and that was in the mid-90s. It is long since gone. Pullets don't have nests and breeder and grandparent stock are mostly in barns but free to roam.

No they are raised in barns where the ammonia is toxic... there all over Arkansas I've seen the conditions these birds are kept. Cage free means nothing if they never see the outdoors.

@@albanymtnlife It depends on your definition of toxic. It was harmful but not deadly since you did not say that the barn was full of dead chickens.

@@twin2482 this was a commercial operation and no I didn't see dead birds but it was pretty dark inside this giant barn, and who's to say they didn't remove dead birds before people came. These birds were being given away as they were reaching the age of decreased egg production. As a chicken keeper myself and my birds never had a toxic smell like that. But if that's what is acceptable it's wrong, and needs to change. I was only there 15 minutes and my lungs hurt for days after. That is toxic period!
