Most people would never knowingly buy cage eggs — the problem is, most aren’t sold in cartons.

Cage eggs are baked, blended, and hidden in everyday foods: sauces, crumbed products, baked goods. And behind each one could be a hen confined to a cage for life.

 A hen’s instincts are simple. She wants to forage. To dust-bathe. To build a nest. To flap and stretch her wings.

 But millions of hens in Australia will never get that chance.

 They’re forced to stand and rest on the same wire floor, peering through the same cage bars, day after day.

 The good news? Our choices are powerful. Choosing egg-free options shifts demand away from a food system that prioritises profit over the lives of animals.

 Eating egg-free can also spare chicks. Across every commercial egg system — even free-range and organic — male chicks who can’t lay eggs are considered “wastage” and are killed at just one day old.
