What is a caged free egg?
Answers:
Cage-free refers to chickens not being in cages BUT that does not mean chickens are allowed to roam free. Cage-free chickens are often crammed into barns or other indoor areas. If you want the best eggs where the chickens are being taken care of the most, get your eggs from a local organic farmer. It will be more expensive but the eggs will often taste a lot better.
it means that the chicken that layed was not put in a cadge.
most eggs that are laid today are laid in giant facilities with thousands of chickens in cages. They eat food that makes them lay more eggs. This means that they were not laid in this setting, but probably on a farm of some sort
probably an egg laid by a free range chicken...a chicken thats allowed to roam around the barnyard and nest in her own coop at night without the posibility of being crapped on by being raised in 3 story cages...sheesh I would hate to be on the first floor of that condo....see the chickens poop goes straight through the cages and hit a conveyor belt below and out to where it is mixed with other feed and fed back to cows...no wonder them cows is mad!...farm management figures that the chicken only eat cracked corn and never eat any dirt so their poopy is considered pure enough to mix with hay and fee to cows...hay I aint making this up...thats a factual thing they do down on the old poultry farm
Jeff is complety correct. Cage Free only says that the hens are not in cages. However, there may be a thousand of them packed into a 50x50 barn - which isn't much better.
Do you mean what the label means? Nothing, really. It's not regulated. Maybe one chicken got outside for 5 minutes, unfortunately.
Caged free is that the chicken is free from a cage.they roam and eat whatever they want to plus some feed...Naturally.
Just a lie the egg companies tell the
gullible consumers so they feel better
about eating something that came out
of a chickens butt...yuck!
means they were not couped up in cages. Many egg farms have cages and coup the chickens up in them for mass production and they feed the chickens laying mash feed to increase the egg put out! This is cruelty the way I see it! Cage free chickens are not couped up in cages. It don't mean they are free ranged. I've seen a chicken farm with out cages. The chickens were free to roam around inside a building. And there were stalls for the chickens to go on. There was too many chickens for the size of the building! At least they weren't caged! Someone did complain because of an odor.. probably their neighbor. The owners were told by the health board to either get rid of the chickens or let them have some more run about space. A wired mesh fence was but at the back of the building and a small door for chickens to go through was made in at the back of the building! Now those chickens eggs are called free range eggs.. cause they roam around in a small fenced in area! Those eggs went up in price too!
a bunch of bull SH*T!
