I've been holding rhem in until I can get a cashbackable deal on Amazon.

To partake in animal misery.
It's cheap but 500g/12 are pretty small eggs aren't they?
Probably quail eggs…
Anyone buying caged eggs should take a look at their morals imo
Do you feel that you're a better person just because you don't buy caged eggs?
Do I think I’m better because I don’t buy caged eggs? No. But I do think people who do buy caged eggs are worse because of it.
Stop eating eggs altogether, be a vegan
Should vegans judge you the same way as you judge others?
you're judging the wrong people.
Some people buy caged eggs because that seemingly small price difference could make or break their budgets.
We don't live in such an idyllic world that everyone can choose what to buy based on anything other than price.
If you want to think worse of anyone it should be of the corporations that charge more for free-range.Also, thinking worse of people is for something they do is the same as thinking better of yourself for not doing something.
I hate to break it to you, but there is very little difference in living conditions for chickens, whether the eggs are caged or not. If you’re going to tell people to look at their morals, you should be telling them to stop eating eggs entirely.
I normally go for free range, not cage free.
Free range i have found means very very little. Organic free range also means very very little.
All eggs involve male chicks being put in a blender at 1 day old.
Are you serious? There is a massive difference. You're either extremely naive or just kidding yourself.
The chicken who used to supply me was so free range, she started renting her land to other chickens.
I trust that your phone and computer is ethically made by well paid asian workers? and the cobalt and lithium isn't farmed by children in the Congo?
Just because you can't live a 100% low impact life doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to improve the lives of those (animals included) where you're able to do so.
but you can, you just chose not to, because the hurdle is too great.
if people stopped buying products made with unethically sourced materials then supply would decrease along with demand.
No lithium mining in the congo
Would never buy cage eggs, regardless of the price. Not a bargain.
How about an actual egg in a cage?
yes, if it's a Faraday cage.
All eggs organic/free range/whatever happy chicks logo you put on it involve male chicks being put in a blender at 1 day old. You arent cruelty free by buying free range.
All eggs organic/free range/whatever happy chicks logo you put on it involve male chicks being put in a blender at 1 day old.
Not with my eggs.
I didn't think chicks could be sexed that early?
So if the choice is between buying eggs vs not buying eggs, you are right.
If you have decided to buy them though, choose the less cruel one. Not everything is black or white in life.
Eh i dunno "destroying billions of sentient animals to feed us for eggs seems a bit wrong, just a tad?
What you just made was a bit more of a good slave owner v bad slave owner argument.
Do you refuse the get the flu vaccine that's made from cage eggs? What if the eventual coronavirus vaccine is also made from cage eggs?
You've got balls of steel to be posting a caged eggs bargain here lol.
Her eggs are fragile though
Yeah those chooks aren't social distancing and they haven't downloaded the app. Inconsiderate buggas
115 up votes to 25 down says otherwise.
Exactly, the amount of downvotes on the post shows exactly that as well as the +55 on mine lol.
I love the free range snobs that eat meat. On one hand, Its so great that the chicken gets to run around next minute slice it's "explicit" head off so I can have my dinner
I don't see anything wrong with that.
next minute slice it's "explicit" head off
There's a difference between bringing up a healthy, happy animal for food, compared to keeping one in cruel conditions it's whole life.
What a bs justification. If you knew you were going to die in 6 months, would you rather spend that time wandering around in the sun with friends… or locked in a cage by yourself with no sun light?

Easy to spot the individuals who have never left cities. Chickens will clump together irrelevant of how large an area you provide them - it's a natural instinct to help them avoid predators.

My partner’s family were actually farmers until recently. I spent a lot of time at the farm. Their farm was also next to a chicken farm.
My parents have owned chickens.
I’m about as far from Left city boy as you can get politically.
I just respect animals and don’t think politics has anything to do with that.
Btw, chickens certainly are social animals who like to stick together. That’s why keeping them separated in cages is even more disgusting.
@PainToad: Let me clarify my stance. Keeping an animal in a cage is cruel. Killing a caged animal is cruel. Killing a free roaming animal is cruel. How about not killing animals for food if you truly care about cruelty of animals?
Only buying free ranged eggs because you "care" about the chickens but yet you still think it's okay to kill the chicken is hypocrisy. Why don't you care to the full extent instead of caring half-assed?
@ronnknee: You really can't differentiate between having an animal live a relatively happy life before it dies vs being tortured before it dies?
So everything in which you participate and care about is carried out in a completely wholesome way without any negative effect whatsoever eh?…
@Ahil: I think you're still missing my point. If we're really considering morals/ethics, the happiness of animals is tiny compared to the idea of breeding animals to kill. Why are you only caring about their living conditions and not farming animals for food in general?
@PainToad: by the same logic, the retards crowd to the beaches and blame China not their US master for covid19.
At the end of the day, you're just going to kill it for food.
We all die, whether its for food or not.
I don't see the difference
The difference is the quality of life whilst we're still alive.
We all die, whether its for food or not.
Except for the massive distinction you've omitted i.e. you're not killed for consumption at any point in your life.
you're not killed for consumption at any point in your life.
yeah, people get killed for much more trivial reasons…
Exactly!
Well said
so you care about the taste actually, not the lives of the chicken.
Exactly, just picking and choosing what to be up in arms about.
Where is the same ethical standards when it comed to meat consumption? Or buying your lovely new sneakers at the expense of someone's living wage in a developing country. Or beef that may be contributing to land degredation and global warming.
I see no down-votes.
True.
I think people should be aware how bunk the whole 'freerange' badge is. Look into what the actual qualifications needed to qualify for that - it's no the free, paddock wandering utopia people make it out to be. They clamped down on it recently, but all they have to do is have one hen per square meter. That's not very much at all. It also applies vertically, so they can be ramped in rows. They also have to have access to outdoor light, but the wording is nebulous so open to interpretation.
You may think you're doing a good thing buying freerange, but the truth is quality of life between that and caged in industrialised farming is much the same. Read about it here:

Proteeeiiinnn. Need to buy few dozens. Tnx OP
Animal cruelty is never a bargain.
And before you claim this isn’t valid neg, people neg YouFoodz continually because of their personal opinion, so I’m doing the same.
Have to agree. We don't need to cage chickens to produce eggs, it's purely a commercial decision that mixes cruelty and greed.
All eggs in general involve 1 day old male chicks put in a blender or gassed while seeing their siblings being gassed and blended up.
Fake news, in the context of supermarket eggs anyways.
Supermarket eggs are not fertile - not even "free range" or "organic" eggs. Commercially produced eggs are laid by hens who are either in cages, barns or pastures - but without access to a male chicken.
And without a male, a hen's eggs cannot be fertilised.
@vietbargain: You got it all wrong as it's a chicken-and-egg problem. You need some fertile eggs in order to have more chickens, that will in turn produce more eggs. Male chicks are killed because they are unable to produce eggs.
Pass. I don't agree with anyone eating cage eggs and they should be banned from the shelves.
+1 inexpensive food.
Will buy Free Range from Costco for $8.99 instead of from this brand. They are selling it for $3.5 four weeks ago and (still in the smaller food store) when ppl need it the most. Now they are over stocks and are trying to get ride of the eggs! Ha ha!
If no choice and short in cash, yes will buy whatever. But still remember who is trying to take advantage of the situation. Although Business is business and it's all about taking opprtunity and make the most of it. But not in such a situation, same as the price for mask and other things!
Sorry mate. will not touch your eggs even it's FREE!
It called Dignity!
Some free range eggs are a scam.
MOST are if you study the industry carefully.
So which brands aren't a scam??? Or are you gonna go blindly and hope the one that is labelled as free range is not a scam and hope for the best. To make all you feel better.
How many self righteous people actually care enough to educate themselved and pick the correct brand?
Do you remember that time when everyone complained about caged eggs that they removed them from the shelves?
But then everyone stopped caring and they brought caged eggs back on the shelves and no one even batted an eye lid?
Yeah, that's now.
Same as the plastic straws shortly.
Any deals on popcorn plz?
Genuine question, are people who are against caged eggs vegans? because if you're not then how can you justify eating meat and dairy at the same time? It seems to be a good example of cognitive dissonance to me.
No. I’ll eat the produce but there is no need to make their lives torture while they grow.
I understand the inhumane part. What I don't understand is that you're against caged eggs but have no qualms about consuming animals instead of letting them grow old and die of natural causes?
PS I'm not vegan. It would be good if people contributed to the discussion instead of negging without a valid reason just because they can do so.
against caged eggs but have no qualms about consuming animals instead of letting them grow old and die of natural causes?
Animals eating animals is natural. Keeping them in tiny cages their entire life is not.
Us humans have evolved to the point we have complete dominion over all other animals, but we could at least not be dicks about it.
Animals eating animals is natural
How is natural defined in this context? Is it because it's still widely consumed by humans and animals themselves so it's natural? Does your temptation make it natural? What makes it natural? Children need it for growth and development but what about adults specifically?
What's natural is irrelevant IMO whenever this topic comes up because most people here are concerned with ethics and morality, but many seem to have a very inconsistent view on this. Do you not see the contraction in saying 'I enjoy my meat from animals that have been humanly euthanised'? In this case, your morality seems to only extend to the point where you let the animals live freely until it is time for your consumption.
@PainToad: you sound more ridiculous than vegans, congrats. and if you are sincere, you must go vegan.
It's all about choice.
I like the taste of meat, and I'll continue to eat it. Yes, it involves raising and then murdering animals, and I accept that. I don't hate animals, I just want to eat them.
Not this brings me to the question of whether I should eat tortured animals or those who lived a relatively happier life. I choose the latter, because I can eat the same meat in either case, and I don't gain anything (other than possibly buying the meat a bit cheaper) by being cruel.
@bio: Are you saying that if someone looked after their golden retriever very well and fed him great food every day and took him to vet regularly, provided a great life, but then one day shot him with the bolt gun in his head (humane way of stunning) and cut his throat open to bleed him out, then skinned/gutted the dog and chopped his dead body into pieces and ate him… It's all okay, because the animal had a great life?
Well, free range is a step in the right direction by increasing the price, decreases consumption. Ideally, people eat so little that it needs to be super free range for it to be considered marketable.
Torture - no bargain
Chicken enjoy being caged.
Wait until you see how ham and bacon and dairy is made…. "Torture"…
This is definitely a bargain !!
What are you complaining about?
Everyone’s ethics are different. I personally wouldn’t buy them because they are from caged hens.
This is a genuine bargain but it is up to the government to ban caged eggs, but that will only solve the ethical issue in this country. What about the caged live animals sold in wet markets overseas? Nature got us humans back in a big way for that - and we still won’t learn …
There's no association with caged eggs being the cause of this pandemic if that's what you're trying to insinuate.
abc isn't insinuating that at all… they're merely commenting on how treating animals poorly can backfire on us humans, which you can't deny is a reasonable position considering recent events.
Stressed out animals = compromised immune systems = a greater likelihood of catching/spreading disease. This is exacerbated even further when sick animals are kept in close confines with others.
I've yet to hear about caged eggs or animals for that matter causing any diseases in Australia where they are strictly enforced in terms of hygiene. And most here are concerned with ethics, and not so much that it leads to diseases. If contracting a disease from an animal was the utmost concern for a majority of people, then wouldn't a solution be to eliminate meat entirely from your diet?
The root cause of the pandemic was probably due to a combination of consuming exotic live animals, lax of govt. regulation and unhygienic standards in poorer rural areas where it's a common practice. None of which has anything to do with caged eggs/animals etc. here in Australia.
Not a bargain. The cheap consumer price is underwritten by enormous costs to the environment, the livelihoods of ethical farmers and of course the lives of animals.
If you care about these things you should consider buying organic eggs - I once thought organic was BS but Australian certified organic eggs must meet must higher environmental and animal welfae standards than those marketed as 'free range' (including a prohibition on beak searing, which is common practice among the cheaper free range brands). This Choice article has some great information.
Most people won't pay for organic eggs. I see them offered locally for ~$8-$12 / dozen.
Yep, I stopped buying as many eggs once I moved to organic. Glad to report my life hasn't shattered into bits like Humpty Dumpty.
I think about about to lay my own caged eggs soon.
