Your choice when buying eggs

It is known that chickens from conventional farms are often kept in poor conditions. They often only have little space and sometimes no outlet at all. Male chicks are often not reared in the first place but are shredded as soon as they hatch.

But there are also alternatives: If available, it is best to choose brother rooster eggs. These producers renounce the cruel practice, raise the roosters with them and want to show that laying hens can be reared without killing the chicks. Organic eggs also enable the hens and chicks to have a better life: Because in order for their products to be allowed to bear the organic seal, a farmer must comply with strict standards – also when it comes to animal husbandry.
