Cage-free eggs. Chickens were probably still tortured and crammed on top of each other in a barn. Look for certified humane.

Edit: himane to humane. Spell check refuses to let me make the typo intentionally, but let it slip through the initial post. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The eggs have never been caged since they left the chicken

Trying to verify a chicken's hymen is 1.) archaic, 2.) unscientific, and 3.) not your business.

How do you humanely kill someone who doesn't want to die?

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It's an egg, it's not fertilized.

Do the laying hens die of old age on those humane farms, or where do they go when their egg production is no longer at peak profitability?
What happened to all the male chickens?

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

There are ways of determining the gender of a chick in-ovo, meaning in the egg. This is the way they should be culling male chicks.

that being said, male chickens are eaten because they taste good.
