Free range eggs are much nicer tasting than cage eggs. The yokes are more orange than watery yellow – because the hens are eating natural foods – like they would in a natural environment.
Hens crammed into layer cages
Cage eggs come from chickens that live their lives crowded into a tiny cage – they never get to sit in the sun or scratch around – in fact they will never spread their wings or eat anything except chicken feed that is loaded with antibiotics and steroids. Large catering companies use catering eggs – pretty much the cheapest eggs that they can find – and those would be cage eggs – There is no doubt that free range eggs are healthier, better tasting and kinder to the hens!
