Most people's
mental image of Egg Production is that of a farmyard in which chickens are free to roam
about, to fly, and to even roost in the trees. To the side of the yard is a chicken
coop, where the chickens are free to enter, to leave, and to nest and lay their
eggs. Then each day the farmer comes out with his or her basket and collects the
eggs for market or personal use. While such a situation may exist on some
individual small farms, nothing is further from the truth when it comes to the vast
majority of farms engaged in commercial Egg Production. Additionally, many ethical
vegetarians believe that the eating of eggs is ok as it doesn't cause the death of the
chicken. On this page you will find a compilation of information we have gathered, and
believe to be true, from various sources that is intended to enlighten, and hopefully
evoke a further softening of the heart towards all of God's creatures. We have
linked these references for the reader's convenience and further investigation.
