Who laid your #eggs? 🐔 We are fussy with where we buy our eggs from. 🥚 Luckily, this weekend we are #chickensitting these gorgeous #rescuehens that were too old for the battery farm they grew up in. 🐣 They were brought to a lovely little mini-farm where they have a nice safe enclosure and they can get out and scratch about in the dirt. 🐤 They love exploring and pecking at the plants and dirt in their new home. They also have lovely personality! One is the boss, Rose is the dopey one who keeps getting lost or running into things, and one loves following humans around. 😁 Chickens can be treated absolutely terribly in egg farms. 😢 Even some of the places that call themselves "free range" will still de-beak new born #chicks (an incredibly painful process that can and often does go wrong) and throw the male chicks into bins or blenders *alive*. On top of that there are the food miles of the eggs and what the chooks were fed to consider. I recommend trying to find a greengrocers or smaller produce shop to ask about their eggs. They are far more likely to know the details of where the eggs come from than a big supermarket. ❤️ 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🥚🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐣🐤🥚🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔 #eggsforbreakfast #eggfast #eggsoldiers #scrambledeggs #friedegg #boiledeggs #freerangechickens #happychickens #rescuedhens #rescuedchickens #rescuechickens #lesswaste #lowwaste #wasteless #chickensaspets (at County Meath) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6YROsnUa2/?igshid=xn65qhygxfii
