The Dogmother Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Phil passed this link onto me, apparently it's up on the site for another couple of days and is about free-range egg farming. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet . http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/items/02/2006_27_fri.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 A friend told me about it - it was last Friday's. I listened to it on Sunday. I wasn't all that impressed, but I'm pleased the egg-thing is hitting the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Thanks for the link - interesting stuff about chickens liking to roam in the woods. We used to be able to get free-range eggs (through an organic veg box scheme) from hens that roamed in an orchard, but the *@&$% wholesalers pressured the farmer into dropping his smaller customers so they could buy his entire output (to satisfy the supermarkets' demand) - grrr!

Martin B Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yes, it was rather interesting to hear about the happy woodland chickens and their eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
