Do I want good eggs? Yes! Enough to raise my own chickens. Do I think this law is good? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I’m in favor of lowering the regulations and encouraging better foods, but I am certainly NOT in favor of giving the government any more power than it already has. We need to remove that power!
☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻 THIS x 💯
Yes. 💯
I will be happy if there are more anti-cruelty regulations in the future, especially since there are virtually none for chickens. Chickens and other poultry animals are raised in horrific conditions, and you wouldn't want to eat commercial chickens if you could see how they "live." On the other hand, cage-free means almost nothing. All these definitions are very loose, like the word "natural" being slapped on all kinds of junk food bags.
The best thing to do is buy from a local egg seller or just raise your own hens. I have chickens, and they're fun and easy to care for. And they give me more than enough eggs for a small household.
yes! and I think this^ is the core of the Entire movie...
If we Allow cruelty to the weakest,
animals & children; then we deserve All of the suffering we find ourselves in.
once we put animals and children first, Then we will be ready to 'Ascend' to a better way of life.
I completely agree. I'm glad there are some frens like us who care about the animals, too. I guess I am a hippy in many ways and it's part of why I love RFK Jr. I am hoping this will be on his agenda. One day, I truly believe we'll be together with our animals in heaven, and the lion shall lie down with the lamb. But in the meantime, we can and must do better.
Our plans turned from "we wanna move out of the city" to "we're gonna start a homestead" over the past decade.
I plan to treat my animals in a manner appreciative of the sacrifice they make to keep us alive.
Same here, fren. We lived in the city for many years, and as soon as we had the opportunity, we bought some land and started trying to live more naturally. It's been a slow process, but we have chickens, guineas, bees, and a garden. And we treat our birds with kindness.
exactly^ we can, and will have a time where animals aren't tortured.
and how did your comment get a downvote?🙄 hope it's a bot, and not an actual person...
I'm curious, too. Sadly, there are many conservatives who are not on board with these ideas and couldn't care less, and many Christians who don't believe that animals will be in heaven. Well, I am SURE they will be.
The answer to that problem is not more legislation…the government is not here to save us, and never will be.
What do you think the answer is? It's a serious question and I'm curious how you'd suggest we solve such a big problem. Without any regulations, chickens lie around in their own filth with broken legs and severed beaks, stacked on top of each other. Live male chicks are sent into a shredder as soon as they hatch. At least cows and pigs have SOME protection, though not much.
I think that we as American Citizens have the responsibility to expose and boycott these monsters. If real, small farmers were given fewer regulations and a more even playing field, these large corporate (mostly Chinese owned) farms would be out of business. We need less regulation, less government and more concerned activist citizens cleaning up these messes.
I can get behind this idea and would be happy to be an activist for this cause. God bless you.
cage free means that they grow up in a giant barn/warehouse pen where they are crammed in for the 3 months they are alive.
I agree. I think giving the chickens the freedom to roam around would be better.
We do too, that and ducks and a goose!
'Cage-free' just means a large concrete-floor building with lots of chickens and the staff going around every day picking up the chickens that have been pecked to death over night......
It’s a lie. The cages are just bigger. Why are people so stupid?
because they are So far removed from nature, they have No idea what happens on factory farms😠
liberals are gluttons, not worried about cruelty, etc
Liberals are amazingly ignorant as to where food comes from in general.
“Sure, and maybe next we elect some inbred cousin marrying backwoods redneck with two teeth from flyover country as our next president.

Like how "free range" sometimes means that they leave the door open with a little fence around the area just outside of it.
Can confirm. I had a meat chicken ranch that had 250,000 each flock (45 days from hatch to market). I changed to a different processor who marketed them as "free range". I had to cut doors every 100 ft on one side of the barns and make a little fenced area for them to go outside. A barn full of 50,000 had maybe 100 chicken's outside at any given time. The birds are not stupid. They know where the food, water, safety, and comfortable conditions are. Free range, non GMO, non antibiotic are keywords that mean nothing.
What about “pasture raised” eggs? I buy these from Aldi and they have a nice dark orange yolk. Are they legit?
Yes pasture raised is a whole other deal. They typically have smaller flocka and keep them in moveable huts that they can move throughout the pasture. The natural grass and bug the chickens get in addition to the type of feed they are given give the yolks a nice dark yellow/orange color compared to others
No kidding! A new chicken barn was built down the road from me. They made a acre size yard outside the barn that's fenced in. And also about 15 more acres fenced around the barn. In 3 years I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen the barn open and chickens outside, and never have I seen chickens allowed out to the larger pasture
Everyone should raise their own (for eggs) for 2 years before they can have a truly informed opinion...
There are certain realities... and many of them aren't pretty even under the best conditions.
The truth is (and this in NO WAY leans towards animal cruelty or lack of compassion) - they're one step up from dinosaurs. They're little bastards that will literally peck each other to death if permitted to - for no other reason than chicken social pecking order or they're bored that day...then break skin, cause bleeding and like sharks - they peck at the blood. They're little bastards...
Whatever bullshit they're selling in stores as "eggs" are bullshit... because they're not ANYTHING like you get from raising your own. Taste alone is a whole other world. When you see those fresh yolks stand up proud in the pan, with their deep orangy/yellow color, you KNOW you're getting something real.
It's not a mistake that eggs, a super food, are cucked out lame diet Coke version of what the Creator designed...
Let "the world" eat the bullshit eggs and you do you.
To "do it right" - meaning, humanely, with proper nutrition, space, protection, clean unfrozen water, year round is both more labor intensive and expensive than you'd think. You gotta either love chickens or eggs or both - because it's simply NOT economically feasible to do commercially, unless you want to spend $16-20+ a dozen.... and you need a lot of birds to really make it even worth doing. I've got 60 right now...(And they molt...or get old or it's dead of winter and nature isn't laying eggs because chicks could never survive...etc) Southern States are easier because of weather...
Like I said...you gotta really WANT your own eggs and understand why commercial does what it does. There are reasons... and it's not necessarily a conspiracy. Not everything can be neatly automated large scale for food production while simultaneously ticking the humane and affordable boxes...
I have about 20 hens who give us more eggs than we can use, and I sell the extras to a few coworkers for cheap. It's not cheap, though, to keep chickens as the birds need food and care and protection from predators, but it gives me satisfaction to know that a) I'm getting quality, natural eggs and b) my chickens are happy and healthy and c) my chickens spend most of their lives doing what chickens do. They forage, eat bugs and lizards, and enjoy the grass. And I enjoy them. They are, for the most part, highly entertaining animals and very social. They're also not stupid like many people believe.
But, yes, many people aren't prepared for farm animal reality. Chickens can be mean. Cruel. My chickens killed one of my guinea fowl a few weeks ago. She had a small injury, and while we were at work, they pecked her to death. It was brutal. I cried because I felt so guilty for not being there to remove the guinea. But it's ingrained in chickens to kill the weak ones to protect the flock. They will kill their own chicks at times. They are mini-dinos. And if they get sick, sometimes you have to play vet and get up close and VERY personal with a hen, and if that doesn't work, you have to ease their suffering. And there are very few vets who will see chickens. Oh, and the government has banned places like Tractor Supply from selling antibiotics anymore, so you're very limited in how you can treat a sick bird. But there are natural methods that often work.
I highly recommend raising backyard chickens, but only if you can handle all of the above. Some people can't and it's too heartbreaking and too much work. In that case, find someone local who will sell eggs to you.
100% agree. I have a flock of my own (smaller than yours) and the amount of work and money that goes in to getting our own eggs is surprising. I joke all the time they are still several thousand eggs shy of breaking even. But damn do they produce! And the eggs are truly miles ahead of store-bought. And do you think those little shits appreciate me? Nope. I have to wear full boots to my knees to stop them from drawing blood...because it's fun for them to peck at everything.
True. https://chickenjournal.com/pinless-peepers/
I'm only in favor of open facility laws. If you sell to the public, the public should be able to tour your facility at anytime to determine if they want to support your business. We should be able to make our own judgments. I don't think the government should be the one judging what we can or can't purchase.
There's legitimate concerns about bio security and people not potentially bringing in pathogens ... You know, like careless government inspectors are known to do.
The addition of raptors to the migratory bird treaty destroyed most farmers free range chickens. You really want the most healthy eggs, those come from free range chickens. A chicken in a pen is still a chicken in a pen no matter the size of the pen, and that chicken is still what ever load of shit they feed them.
A friend told me a story recently of an expose' he had seen on Tyson chickens. It was showing the processing of chickens for the market. All the offal, guts, beaks, feet, and assholes were dried out and ground into a powder. That powder was combined with corn.
Can you guess where that combined mess went?
Right back into the chickens. Barf.
Exactly. They recycle it into the next round of chickens. It is all about money.
There was some research that suggested mad cow disease, scrapie in sheep and goats, and chronic wasting disease in deer were created by feeding reprocessed parts to cattle.
In Michigan. They know what they are doing, can’t be range free in winter anyway .. they don’t lay eggs in the cold weather either. So price of a poor man’s staple food goes way up in price - NWO/Democrat mission complete.
Michigan has been slowly destroying the poultry industry.
I am all for not having cage hens.... but this is not what this is about.
Control of the food. Control of the people
Can't wait for herbicides and pesticides to be banned from the food that is grown for our consumption. Paraquat, Roundup, Atrazine.
Are the chickens vaXXinated?

“free” means fishy
So how is it that they're completely out of eggs, did they never carry "cage free" eggs at all before? Every store I've been to around me has always had both kinds of eggs in stock.
In my experience the cage free and organic are always the first to go. I have never seen standard eggs run out of stock.
The true meaning for consumers; less choice AND higher prices.
You're welcome.
GRETCHEN - BEST GOVERNOR EVER!
I'm amazed she was re-elected after the COVID retardation.
You talk like election fraud doesn't exist.
"Free Flu Vaccines Available Now."
Thirty percent increase in the price of eggs in Michigan three… two… one…
You all seem to be missing the point here.
Manufacturer > Government > Consumer.
Proper free market will dictate appropriate processes.
Government not needed.
I am not sure how chickens are kept in the US. I just know in Europe there are basically two types of eggs; There's the "free range" ones and there is the "ground kept" (loosely translated). The first means the chickens live outside mostly and have a coop to sleep and lay their eggs. The second means the chickens are kept in very large halls at ground level. The first kind is only marginally more expensive; I pay about 3 dollars for 10 "ground level" eggs and about 4 dollars for 10 "free range" eggs. They both taste the same. I think the indoor chickens feel safer.
"Cage free" has been a thing for a few decades in Europe now and eggs do not seem to be more expensive here.
I only buy Cage Free eggs now. I should raise my own and may in the future.
This thread is top notch. Great comments, everyone!
Now do Free Range ; )
I was at Kroger in Michigan yesterday and saw no signs and no sign of any change.
Interesting….i got the photo from a lib relative who (I have no reason not to believe) took it at a Kroger store in Michigan. Maybe it’s up to the stores for how they want to roll it out? Ill keep an eye on how this develops.
Im not doubting the accuracy at all. Just reporting I havent seen anything yet actually happening. I know the law was passed.
Also cage free is just sort of a difference in semantics. They arent free range and the space they now require for ech chicken is still only a couple feet square. And as many chickens as theyve killed there is probably spare room.
The eggs are gone from our supermarkets too. But it's because Newsom declared a state of emergency after someone got bird flu.
Most of the egg cartons already say "Cage-Free" on them. I don't know why we need a regulation. I think the poultry farmers already know that consumers want their eggs from happy chickens; or at least I hope the farmers know that.
Pardoned chickens are gonna start laying eggs, which you'll see through the glass panels.
Mine love scraps. Their favorite food however/also is …. Eggs. Yes, thats correct. Anytime I drop an egg and it breaks open in their coop they are on it like little velociraptors. Shell and all.
My chickens go insane for eggs. And when you have a sick or molting chicken, giving them an egg with the shell mixed in almost always helps. It has every nutrient they need. Nature's miracle food.
Watch Hornet King on YouTube. He takes coomb and brings it home to his chickens and emus. So satisfying!
Chickens are insectivores, that is what most of their food should be. Let the chickens eat the bugs and let humans then eat the chickens and eggs.
Chickens will eat the hell out of grasshoppers!
