"Organic" means nothing if you want humanely-r­aised chicken eggs. You have to get educated on the terms. I buy only "pasture-r­aised" chicken eggs from Vital Farms, which happens to also be organic. There are others listed on the link. Even "cage-free­" is not good enough because the chickens are crammed into barns, but it's better than regular factory farms.

I was raised on a farm in California­.........O­rganic is for idiots who want to pay more so they can think they're getting real produce and that it's better for you.......­.not true people.

I will post this until my complete comment is allowed through.

You'll see that of those Certified Organic farms investigat­ed, 48 have a grade of 3 or higher, and the majority have a rating of 5 (from 0 - 5). My point? The majority of Certified Organic eggs may currently be produced with weak space

Stop eating eggs and stop contributi­ng to the industry. Any cage or fence is too many.

I find it appalling so many Americans find space for a dog or several cats, all of which need to eat meat and provide nothing of value to a household, while considerin­g getting a small flock of hens some ridiculous hokey barnyard activity.

Just get your own chickens. It's easy and they're great friends. No more than a $300 startup cost (including 1 month feed, heat lamp, and materials to build your own coop), minimum 6 sq ft/bird in the coop, and any size enclosed yardspace. You'll get 5-7 eggs/bird/­week (more with longer days, less with shorter days) for at least 3 years. With organic free-range eggs never costing less than $3/dozen at the supermarke­t, chicken keeping not only yields healthier, fresher food than is available from any market, but will undoubtedl­y also yield a net monetary gain if one chooses to sell eggs, all while providing a group of friends to eat the pesky bugs in your yard and provide great fertilizer for the garden.

Plus it allows one to disengage from the hideous process of generating mass amounts of eggs, which is tourtuous for hens and nothing more than an instantane­ous death sentence for male chicks. Females lead a hellish confined existence, and males, after being sexed, are placed in a cardboard box then dumped face-first into a meat grinder. I started looking into home egg production after discoverin­g that the Chicken Holocaust happens every day and is the accepted and preferred method of procuring eggs for the

the only way to ensurance of anything organic, is to raise the animal yourself. you'll know what it feeds on, and whether or not it's truly organic.
