Lynchee Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I may be wrong, but haven't battery farms gone now anyway. Made illegal at the beginning of the year. I myself have my own chickens, and get my eggs fresh every morning; I notice you live in Crookes...do you ever sell your eggs? If so I would definetely be interested in taking some if you have enough. I used to work with a lady who brought her eggs in to sell, but she retired a while back.

Bruno Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 I am of the opinion that all animal products should include a picture on the packet of the average living conditions of the animal. Battery farms would be gone immediately! I like this idea, and agree would put not everyone but quite a good few off buying eggs from Chickens kept in horrid conditions. After all they have pictures of diseased lungs on packets of cigarettes to try and put people off. On a recent group walk we did from maling bridge to bradfield, we passed some free range chickens, everyone in the group went and bough some of their eggs.

carolynqk Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Does anyone specifically buy, happy eggs or go for the cheapest? Personally I don't see any taste difference, but when instructed to go shopping by my OH I have to get Happy Eggs. What do you buy? i dont buy any now. got 4 hens for my birthday and they lay me 4 beautiful eggs every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allrockman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I can't tell the difference in taste or colour but would always buy free range - I get a warm glow knowing my morning eggs came from a happy hen You don't always get what you pay for. Eggs from battery hens advertised as free-range or barn-raised have been found on the shelves of high street stores by consumer watchdogs, a new report has revealed. Roadside couple fined for selling 12,000 battery eggs as farm-fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natley Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The fact is that eggs sold in supermarkets as fresh eggs are at least a week old before reaching the shelfs. Because when there laid they have to be collected then sent for sizeing then stamping then packing then sent out to shops. I keep hens and I can taste the difference between my eggs and any shop bought ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't see any taste difference, but when instructed to go shopping by my OH I have to get Happy Eggs. What do you buy? I don't buy happy eggs, I buy free range woodland/organic eggs. I wouldn't have a clue what a battery egg tastes like and I am not prepared to find out. I don't know what happy eggs means though, I assume they are free range but that may be what they want you to think:suspect: just realised this is an old discussion I have already replied to!

boyfriday Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Happy Eggs are misleading and a disgrace. Are you saying they're not smiling on the inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
