What are the differences between Caged, Cage-free and Pasture raised free-range eggs?

“Caged”, “Cage-free,” “pasture-raised Free-Range,” describe different methods of egg production. Essentially, these terms refer to the differing levels of animal welfare standards that farmers use on their farms.


Caged Eggs

Caged eggs come from hens who live their entire lives indoor, trapped in small cages. Typically, space smaller than a A4 size paper. It is a standard practice in India to confine 4 – 8 hens in a “cage” that are so small that the hens can barely move. The hens are treated with cruelty and raised in an unhygienic environment.  This method of farming stops the hens from natural behavior, such as walking, flapping their wings, or wagging their tails.

In India, 80 – 90% of the commercially produced eggs come from the “battery caged farms “most of these farms adapt cruel practices & unhygienic environment for hens that produce and supply eggs to your plate.

Cage – Free Eggs

Cage-free eggs come from hens that can roam freely vertically and horizontally in indoor barns and have at least 1 square foot of floor space each. Cage Free farms typically have high hen density that restrict the hens from free movement within the barn and exhibit vicious habit of cannibalism due to stress.
