So, what is eggs from caged hens?

Eggs from caged hens are a common ingredient found in many households and restaurants. These eggs come from chickens that are confined to small spaces, typically no more than the size of a sheet of paper, for their entire lives. The cramped conditions can cause stress and health problems for the hens, leading to decreased egg quality. Additionally, caged hens are often subjected to cruel practices such as beak trimming and forced molting. Choosing eggs from free-range or pasture-raised hens is a more ethical and sustainable choice.
