Free Range Eggs Atlanta

As part of a healthy diet, finding good sources of protein can provide us with energy and fuel our mind. Eggs are a great way to gain protein, vitamins, and minerals from a lean source. Eggs are versatile and can fit into any meal of the day standing alone or incorporated into other dishes. However, not all eggs are created equal. Factory farmed eggs come from animals in questionable facilities raised in unnatural ways. It is a much better practice for our health and the health of the animals that we consume free range eggs.

Many of these chickens rarely or never see sunlight because they are kept indoors in dark facilities. Factory chickens can be held 10 to an area of 2.3 sq feet. This causes extremely tight quarters and can cause hens to grow abnormally. The frustration of the hens also leads to debeaking, which is the practice of removing part of their beak so they cannot harm other birds they are cooped up with. Another sad process in the egg industry is the life ( or lack thereof) of male chickens. Because they are of no use to the egg industry, male chicks are often killed by either being tossed in the garbage, suffocated by being crushed, or macerated in high speed grinders. These unethical practices are a sad truth of the factory egg farming business.

Fortunately, you don’t have to support these practices and eggs can be had from free range, healthy hens. Chickens were meant to graze in open spaces, clucking and pecking in search of their food. Free range chickens do not produce as much as factory hens who are pushed to their bodies max. By being able to roam and move about the way they were supposed to, chickens live in a much lower stress environment. The eggs produced by free range hens are higher in vitamin content, minerals, and have lower cholesterol and saturated fat. Free range eggs also have 2-3 times more omega 3’s than regular supermarket eggs. These nutritional benefits, along with the healthier practices involved, make it easy to see the advantages of choosing free range eggs.
