Eggspectations

Article Abstract:

Those who seek to buy eggs produced under conditions that are kind to the chicken may find it difficult to tell what the labels mean although they may say "barn-laid" or "free-range." The government in Australia does not regulate the labeling of eggs, so the labels may not be accurate. Caged birds produce 95% of the eggs for sale in the country. Up to five birds may be in a cage. The New Zealand Federation of Animal Societies says the bird can stand erect in one part of the cage only and that they cannot move unless all the birds in the cage more simultaneously.
