We discovered that up to 40 million male chicks are killed every year at just a day or two old. The industry has no use for them because they don’t lay eggs and are too ‘skinny’ for meat. Intensive, organic or free range, it is all the same. This never-ending slaughter continues simply because people eat eggs. Life isn’t much better for their baby sisters – routine mutilation in which most have the tips of their beaks painfully sliced off. It’s done to stop them from damaging each other in the overcrowded hell that awaits them. It doesn’t work as feather e ‘free pecking and cannibalism are Happy Egg Company: Do thes you? commonplace.

Around 50 per cent of hens in Britain are still caged. But battery cages are to be replaced – yes you’ve guessed it – by another, different cage. Supposedly ‘enriched’. Not by much from what we saw!
