  1. What is the difference between conventional eggs and eggs produced in a “cage-free” environment?

  2. Cage-free eggs support animal welfare Each caged (conventional) bird has less space than a single sheet of paper on which to live. Cage-free hens generally have 250-300 percent more space per bird and are able to engage in more of their natural behaviors than are caged hens.

  3. What is our position on cage-free eggs?

  4. In 2007, we implemented a cage-free shell egg policy which requires all units to offer shell eggs that are certified by the Humane Farm Animal Care Program. Our cage-free shell egg policy will significantly improve the welfare of over 175,000 chickens per year.
