My family usually gets the Grade A large eggs in the supermarket, but we're raising chickens at the moment so that we'll have our own supply of free-range egges. They're such nutty little creatures, and when they finally stop running in fear from non-chickens, they can be quite fun. One of the chickens likes to jump on my shoulder while I'm tending to them.

I'm sorry but I have to.

I ordered a chicken sandwich but I think the waitress misunderstood me because she said, "How would you like your eggs?" So I tried to answer her anyhow. I said "Incubated, and then raised, and then beheaded, and then plucked and then cut up then put onto a grill then put onto a bun. Shit, it's gonna take awhile. I don't have time, scrambled!"

As Alan Carr said, "How much freedom can you give a chicken? Do you see a picture of it on the log flume at Blackpool? Or on a beach sunbathing?"

Mums gone a bit 'free range, healthy' crazy for some reason, so ours are free range, along with the fifty bags of salad in our fridge.

Has anyone tried duck eggs? I think they taste quite nice.

Birds are not "proper animals" on my scale of compassion. They rank just slightly above fish. I guess if it was dogs or monkeys I would care more. Still I buy free-range eggs, because I'm a snob and always buy the most expensive things (it may have something to do with self esteem and shit).
This.

It depends on what type of mood I am in.

Sometimes I prefer sunny-side up to get the most out of the yolk, other times I like them scrambled with ham or bacon and onions and peppers.


still other times I like them over-easy.

Firstly, I've started to report the folk that haven't been bothered to read the OP. If they back themselves up with something connecting about the chickens, I'm cool, but only going by the title is sort of annoying me.

I refuse to buy free range just for the fact that its like 4x the price. Fuck your lying bullshit! Eggs are eggs! Besides the original flavour is pretty much lost with what I put in em.
How is it a lie? You can go to the factories to see the hens if you want. I feel it's selfish to ignore what is happening and support the cruelty of the chickens. It doesn't matter what you do with the eggs, it's what happens previously to get them.

Well really. Having them run amoke in a pen is so much better. At least they can peak in the dirt, flap their wings, and socialise.

well im a student so i buy the cheapest of everything, sorry but if i start making exceptions ill end up goig as far as buying "in date" foods, and thats a choice im not willing to make.
I guess money costs are an exception. Is there any way to cut back on something else you need less for the extra few $$$?

I know you think less of a bird. If I see a dead bird on the side of the road I care less then I would about seeing a dead kangaroo or something. But the fact still stands that it is cruel and we have to look above 'what we believe.'

holydog said:
Slightly raw and with salt thank you! Dont see a difference between free range and caged. So i went for cage
Reread the OP. The difference is less with the eggs (though they are better quality free-ranged) and more with the cruel mistreatment of the birds. They're animals not machines.

Well, being 15, my parents buy all the food, but my dad steadfastly refuses to eat any meat/eggs etc that isn't free range/organic.

I don't eat eggs, and don't really care about the living conditions of the chickens whose eggs I don't eat.

I don't buy them. I find them in boxes and eat them raw and uncooked, the Resident Evil 4 way.

But really? Free Range.

I like mine over-easy. Also, eggs benedict is the best stuff ever.

Plants are put in rows and packed as close together as possible. We then genetically modify them to make them unable to reproduce naturally, while forcing them to produce the largest fruit or seed we can get. Then we spray them with carcinogens in just the right balance to get the largest possible profit.

Cruelty to plants is inhumane.

Whatever. We are the top of the food chain, and rather than decimating the populations organisms upon which we feed, we farm them and mass produce. There is not enough space on this planet to produce free-range happy meat and eggs in a cost effective way for everyone on the planet who needs meat and eggs. And, before the vegans jump up and down screaming, yes meat and eggs are important, because vegans go to jail rather frequently for feeding their children vegan diets-- children need large amounts of protein and fat.

None of those chickens would have been born in the first place if it was not for their eggs, so as long as the factory workers arent actually having sex with, or urinating or defecating on the chickens, I could really care less about the fact they don't have the freedom to flap their wings and not-fly like "natural chickens"

Not that there are natural chickens, becuase this is one of those species which has been domesticated to the point that it would never survive in the wild.

By the way, free-range eggs are usually considered better because they tend to be fresher, making them AAA grade in the store rather than A. Look at the rating on the eggs. You will almost never see "AAA" grade eggs-- that means you are eating them within a very short time of laying. Even if you buy AAA eggs, chances are by the time you open the box and eat them, they are A grade eggs. I have yet to detect a difference between very-fresh eggs produced in a factory and very-fresh eggs produced free range.

I always buy the free-range eggs. On top of this, I eat duck eggs that come straight from my own duck :D

I have 3 ducks, 1 is the female who does all the egg laying. They have their own pond, a specially made little duck shed with regularly changed bedding, and are the very epitome of free range as they travel from field to garden to utility room XD
