Grandfather used to call eggs “butt nuts” because they come from butts and you had to crack them open to eat them. :D
Was your grandfather American?
golden eggs? tempting
Why promote cage eggs?
what do you feed chickens so that you can get a dozen eggs with transport and overheads for $1.67 ?
sure it can’t be wheat or corn, must be something recycled with protein added ….here comes mad chicken disease just like we had mad cows after feeding diseased sheep meat to cows as pellets.
What a sad reality when the costs of feed and transport are considered but the value of an actual, entire life belonging to a sentient being is moot.
Cage eggs. Are these still around?
Yeah, it surprises me.
The cost difference is so small, and barns are so nice and rspca inspected.
I dont get it either.
Upvoted. Just because I want this on the front page so I have more fun looking at the comments.
Caged eggs :(
Awesome deal.
Wish they had an outlet near me.
Caged eggs taste better!
Negged because cage eggs and is hypocritical of ozbargain to donate to RSPCA then promote animal cruelty.
Fair enough and kind of agree with you there.
Out of interest, do you neg fast food deals (eg McDonald's, KFC, etc) regarding their use of factory farmed chickens?
Not a dig or trick question. Just wondering if not, why not?
I'm just interested how most of us care deeply about chicken welfare when they lay eggs but seem to turn a blind eye about the conditions on how they produce meat and the companies that support them.
Easy to answer… “outrage culture”
It’s easy to jump on a topical bandwagon and take the wild ride without ever having to leave your armchair or actually actively do anything about it. You can be outraged all you like without having to justify why you’re screaming.
Just pick a topic, don’t research it, take comments you like and regurgitate.

Maccas or KFC is a bit of a grey area - people could still buy items from there that are not factory farmed chicken.
There's an easy alternative to buying caged eggs, it's a simple clear cut choice that consumers can easily make.
I truly believe that factory farms that produce cage eggs days are numbered anyway.
For the record I am Vegan and have minimal waste practices in place in my life - it's not perfect and I am not perfect, but I feel good about my choices and am happy to call out and discuss animal cruelty. I am passionate about the cause, and truly believe that people can make a difference.Ozbargain donated money to the RSPCA last Christmas in their charity drive. I donate money to the RSPCA personally (amongst other charities), and volunteer at a couple of animal charities my values align with. I can tell you the RSPCA and other animal rights groups stance on caged eggs! I find it extremely hypocritical that the owners of OZB can turn a blind eye to that. I believe they should not allow any deals that are proven to promote animal cruelty which is all factory farming - but I know I won't have any chance of that, banning caged eggs 'deals' would be a good start though.
If it were up to me, I would have KFC, Maccas etc all ridden from this earth and healthier, non cruel choices in their place… But consumerism drives the economy and whilst government allow it, and people keep spending money there, they will just continue to produce them.
I know I can't really do anything about it except raise awareness - if anyone want's to know more about the industry and what they can do to stop animal cruelty, I am here to discuss, and actually know what I am advocating (a world free from factory farming) and am not just jumping on a bandwagon for the sake of it.
am happy to call out and discuss animal cruelty
Plenty of deals here apart from cage eggs to do that on.
@afoveht: Actually there are not many at all. Definition of plenty; a large or sufficient amount or quantity; more than enough.
I’ll grant there a few, but as mentioned above I’ll pick my battles, I find it hard to believe people justify this practice. I long for a kinder and more compassionate world, is there so much wrong with that?
@afoveht: Absolutely - I don't support the egg industry at all. It's barbaric and horrific practices like the one you mentioned that keep me fighting hard against it. Unfortunately people do put the blinkers on, and simply don't care because it's cheap and convenient. Out of sight, out of mind.
This thread is pretty mild, but previous ones I have been horrified for the staunch unwavering support people show for such a product, and the negativity shown for anyone daring to highlight the processes, including barbaric cruelty to animals that is often involved to get these foods onto shelves.I do agree some people just jump on the bandwagon and see cage eggs and just neg and wave the 'ban cage eggs' banner thinking they are saving the planet - while at maccas eating their mc sicken burger, sipping a mc latte in a disposable cup, browsing the internet on the latest iphone. It's a lot harder to practice what one preaches…..
Thank you for helping highlight one of the many horrors associated with buying factory farmed eggs.
For anyone that cares, here's a starting point to see what companies are doing to move into better egg choice practice and why the RSPCA does not support cage eggs (if they had their way, they would not support ANY eggs, but they are realistic that people will always want eggs, so are resigned to the fact they can still promote BETTER farming practices out there);
https://www.rspca.org.au/blog-tags/eggs@John Dough: The RSPCA is fully entrenched in the mainstream acceptance of animal exploitation and cruelty. They host BBQs with the chopped up corpses of animals - what more needs to be seen? Their entire business is the same hollow "my shit stinks less than yours" virtue signaling displayed by the cage egg detractors on this site. They understand their donate button would be very inactive if they stood for any animal rights but as the high priests of regulated animal exploitation they continue to thrive.
@afoveht: I do agree with your sentiments, but only to a point. It’s better to have a regulator than no regulator and whilst the government allows these practices, at least there is a regulator there. They are at least realistic in their aims, unlike other animal rights activist groups that people simply dismiss as extremist. Let’s not forget the wonderful work they do in the rescue centres and giving hope to animals found in situations that make me embarrassed to be a human being. They’re far from perfect but the ideal animal rights group that I would like to see will not happen in my lifetime due to money, greed and an asleep population that will put their heads in the sand “la la la I’m not listening” whenever anyone brings truths to the dinner table… let’s agree to disagree on this one, I do see your point but the answer isn’t to remove the RSPCA from the food chain.
Most "free range egg" conditions are just as bad as cage eggs. Similar to a drugged up mosh pit at a metal concert in 40 degree heat.

Or should I say -1 ;)
Just commenting to enjoy the inevitable shitstorm that’s going to happen here any time soon…
I am a cage hen farmer.
I farm cage hens because the cage housing system delivers better welfare outcomes than barn or free range systems.
I farm cage hens because the hens produce a clean safe nutritious egg that working families can afford.
I also farm free range hens.
My free range hens die at a greater rate than my cage hens because they are exposed to endemic diseases for which no vaccines or treatments are available; they are also victims of predators.
The free range eggs are more expensive to produce because of the higher mortality, but also because they use more feed, produce less eggs and because I need to employ more labor to look after them.
Intensive farming is not easy, regardless of the production system; my employees are highly trained in animal welfare practices.What an absolute load of horse shit.
Why? What in particular is "horse shit"?
Looks like one of the spuds was used to take the photo. A good price none the less.
