I dont eat eggs personally as I find them unappealing but I'm just wondering if you buy free range or caged hen eggs?

Caged hens are treated awfully :(

I get mine each week from the local butcher and they are organic free range and delicious and so, so much better than the crap from the coop

Free range eggs, free range egg pasta, free range eggs in cakes etc,
We look at labels whenever possible, Sainsburys tend to be the best for free range eggs in their stuff.

I eat eggs from my own chickens which are free to go wherever they want, if it be their field or my garden :grin2:

I buy the caged hens.Me too. I agree the hens are treated terribly but if the alternative is spending in excess of £2 for 6 eggs then sorry but I aint doing it.

That's one thing I never skimp on. I always buy ecological eggs from hens that can run about freely.

Local farm shops usually have free range eggs too.

I had to research into egg production in school and I will never EVER not buy free range. The things I saw/read just turned my stomach it's awful.

My younger sister knows someone who keeps very happy chickens too, and gets eggs from them.
