What is really in our food?

A Lot of Eggs a hatched by hens who never leave their cage, They are called caged Hens!

New Zealanders eat 920,000,00 eggs per year and they are mostly from caged eggs. Most New Zealanders like their eggs poached and most don’t like their eggs fried.

Hens are kept in cages which are on an angle so the eggs can roll down the conveyor belts.There are 6 hens per cage in the shed. The hens are squashed because there is not enough space to move around.

Organic eggs a mostly more famous than Cage eggs. Free range chicken laid their eggs at night and come out in sunrise so they can have their dust bathing, flap their wings and run around. Free range eggs a more expensive the the cage eggs because the land is more expensive for them to be on.

Chickens don’t have that much space in the shed to run around.  Hens which live in a shed come out in the day and exercise unlike the caged hens.

Eggs are high in protein and easily to digest. Protein is mostly in the yolk which is highly needed for our bodies health. Eggs yolk colour is dark in New Zealand also colouring agents are added to the chicken food. The colour of the eggs depends on the colour of the hens. Unrefrigerated eggs last at least 21 days.
