How Free Range Are Your Eggs?<\/p>\n<p>In many places, the term &#8220;Free Range Eggs&#8221; does not have an official national standard, only recommended limits for farmers to adhere to. <\/p>\n<p>For example, a free-range hen may not be confined to its own little cage 24\/7, but it may still have to share a barn with 10,000 other chicken neighbors.<\/p>\n<p>In this article we will explore how popular free-range eggs have become, and how supermarkets and governments differ in their definition of &#8220;free range&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>We will also cover how you can learn to read your egg packaging to decide whether a product is truly free range.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<h2>What is a Free Range Egg? Why Are They So Popular?<\/h2>\n<p>A free range egg is loosely defined as an egg laid by a chicken who doesn&#8217;t live full-time in a cage. <\/p>\n<p>The idea is that the chicken has more space, is less stressed, and is less likely to catch diseases from other chickens.<\/p>\n<p>Why have free range eggs become so popular? Because the idea of happier chickens roaming the countryside has clearly captured the consumer&#8217;s imagination.<br \/>\n<div class=\"cstm-ad\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><!-- eco-disp-rect --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8092381479390639\" data-ad-slot=\"9221595072\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/div><\/p>\n<p>The world in general has begun to consider the welfare of their food sources to be as important as the welfare of their pets and other wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>For example, according to ABC News, in 2013 cage eggs accounted for only 55 percent of Australia&#8217;s market share, compared to 77 percent 5 years ago. <\/p>\n<p>But how much space does a chicken comfortably need? and how does this effect the quality of the eggs, and the ultimate cost to the consumer?<\/p>\n<p>The opinions differ greatly. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<h2>How Do Supermarkets and Governments define &#8220;Free Range Eggs&#8221;?<\/h2>\n<p>In many countries the big supermarkets and buyers, due to their expansive buying power, have the influence to determine this standard to whatever suits their logistics and profit margin.<\/p>\n<p>As long as there is no legislation or national standard requirement to be met for free range eggs, they are free to do this.<\/p>\n<p>For example, when this blog was written, the animal advocate group Animals Australia had listed on their website that &#8220;1,500 birds per hectare is the recommended maximum&#8221; for free range eggs. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/chickens-on-farm.jpg\" alt=\"two chickens on farm\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/chickens-on-farm.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/chickens-on-farm-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 2013 the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/national\/10000-hens-to-a-hectare-is-no-free-range-accc-20130304-2fgxg.html\">Sydney Morning Herald<\/a> revealed that Coles Supermarket, one of the biggest supermarkets in Australia, used 10,000 birds per hectare as their free-range egg standard. <\/p>\n<p>Their claim was this was the only way they could support a free-range egg program without hitting consumers with heavily overpriced eggs.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<h3>Free Range Egg Labels Explained<\/h3>\n<p>The living conditions for the free-range chicken however are just as important as the number of its housemates. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the case of &#8220;Intensive free-range&#8221; farming, the free range can simply mean the chickens aren&#8217;t caged, but it doesn&#8217;t necessarily equate to life in the sunshine. <\/p>\n<p>The space may prevent hens from making natural movements, such as flapping, de-beaking is a common practice to prevent harm to other birds.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/eggs-in-carton.jpg\" alt=\"eggs in carton\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/eggs-in-carton.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/eggs-in-carton-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And as with humans, close proximity can increase the risk of spreading diseases throughout the group.<\/p>\n<p>Read your labels carefully, and vote with your wallet.<\/p>\n<p>Anything more than 1,500 birds a hectare and de-beaking as a standard should make you think twice.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Buying Free Range eggs is definitely a better alternative to caged eggs, but there is plenty of room for improvement. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Being an informed consumer will make a big difference to how you shop, and make more ethical choices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cstm-ad\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><!-- eco-disp-rect --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8092381479390639\" data-ad-slot=\"9221595072\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/div>\n<p>If you are interested in other ethically sourced products, we have put together a list of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/best-vegan-makeup-brands-in-the-us\/\">best vegan makeup brands in the US<\/a> that you can review now.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/834362268484244200\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pin for Later!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/free-range-eggs-pinterest.jpg\" alt=\"free range eggs pinterest\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2229\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/cagefreeorfree-range-eggs\/\" data-pin-description=\"We explore how popular free-range eggs have become, and how supermarkets and governments differ in their definition of \"free range\".\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/free-range-eggs-pinterest.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/free-range-eggs-pinterest-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/free-range-eggs-pinterest-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/free-range-eggs-pinterest-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why did the chicken cross the road?\u00a0If you said it was free range, this may not be entirely true.
