🤔 Eggs. Natural?
Wild hens lay 10-15 eggs a year.
The egg industry bred that number to 300.
When hens can no longer produce, they're slaughtered.
Free range. Organic. Cage free.
Different labels. Same end.
The #eggtruth 👇
🐣 Investigator found her barely alive in hatchery crate.
Thousands chicks enter egg industry daily. Many dead within hours.
She won't survive either.
You hold the power to stop this cruelty: leave eggs off your plate ❌ 🥚

What happens to chicks on day one of life? 🐣
Undercover footage from inside a chicken hatchery shows newborn chicks being roughly handled, sorted, and killed as part of standard egg industry practice.
You can help stop this: leave eggs off your plate ❌ 🥚

🐓 This is what "cage-free" looks like.
Open wounds. Feathers ripped out. Standard practice.
Please help her by leaving eggs off your plate. ❌ 🥚
#eggtruth
This is what's left.
A broken egg.
A feather.
A concrete floor soaked in waste.
🐓 She laid this egg because her body was engineered to. Over 300 a year. None to keep.
This is the hidden #eggtruth
Choose compassion instead.
Ditch eggs. ❌ 🥚
🐓 She was alive when we found her.
Cage-free means tens of thousands of hens packed into a shed. Up to 40% of cage-free flocks experience cannibalism.
She died on that floor. Production continued.
Please leave eggs off your plate. ❌ 🥚

Unpopular opinion: go egg-free not cage-free if you truly care for hens. ❌ 🥚
#eggtruth
🐓 "Cage-free" was supposed to be progress.
@peta's new white paper says otherwise: broken bones, disease, mass killings — just without the cages 👉️ buff.ly/1YdaUQm
No label fixes a system built on exploitation.
Stop eating eggs instead. ❌ 🥚

Chicken breeder farm. Stressed hens and roosters.
❌ The "humane" egg doesn't exist.
This is a breeder farm — where the chickens behind your cage-free, free-range and organic eggs are kept. You won't see this on the label.
They deserved better than this.
The only way to give it to her is to stop buying eggs.

🐓 Up to 62% have bone fractures
🐓 11–35% develop ovarian cancer by age 4–6
🐓 Peritonitis is the #1 killer of backyard hens
This suffering is permanent. It's bred into every hen.
Don't ditch labels. Ditch eggs. ❌ 🥚

I carry the same genetics as hens in sheds.
Your kindness can't undo what a century of selective breeding did to me.
#eggtruth #vegetarian
You think reproductive problems only happen on factory farms.
But I get egg yolk peritonitis. Prolapse. Ovarian tumors. We all do!
#eggtruth #vegetarian
My skeleton collapsing.
Each shell pulls calcium from my bones faster than I can replace it.
#eggtruth #vegetarian
You think I'm happily gifting you eggs in exchange for your care.
But I can't stop laying even if I wanted to.
#eggtruth #vegetarian
🐓 I'm a backyard hen.
I get more time than most hens, so you can actually see what this breeding does to our bodies.
An #eggtruth thread 👇
🐓 Hens were bred to lay 300+ eggs a year.
A manipulation that burns through their calcium, collapses their bones, and breaks them from the inside out.

This is Lucy 🐓 👇
Lucy has been confined in a cage on an egg farm for about 18 months. Because hens have been selectively bred to lay almost an egg a day, her body and reproductive system are exceedingly overburdened.

🐓 Cages or cage-free.

Country to country, undercover investigators keep finding the same suffering.

☠️ Dead birds left among the living.
Parent flock hens and roosters—starved on purpose, fed only 40% of what they need, every day for a year.
This is the hidden foundation of every egg carton. Choose compassion instead - leave eggs off your plate. ❌ 🥚

EVERY EGG STARTS HERE
✓ A year of hunger for breeding birds
✓ 50-90% of hens with broken, painful bones
✓ Zero legal protection anywhere
✓ Completely hidden from consumers
This is the cruel foundation the egg industry.
LEAVE EGGS OFF YOUR PLATE ❌ 🥚
#eggtruth
🐓 Parent flocks fall through legal gaps in the EU, UK,
North America, and Australia.
Only vague "general farm animal" rules apply—
no enforceable standards for their care.
No space requirements.
No mandate to monitor or treat their pain.
#eggtruth
🐓 Fed only 40-50% of what they need.
These birds experience chronic hunger, elevated stress,
pacing, and constant frustration.
50-90% of hens suffer broken chest bones by the end.
Research proves they live in chronic pain.
#eggtruth
🐓 Parent flocks are the breeding birds—hens and roosters kept
to produce the next generation of hens for egg farming.
Both live in constant, deliberate hunger for over a year
before their offspring ever lay a single egg.
They're the hidden foundation of every carton.

Have you ever tried vegan alternatives?

❌ 🐓 These hens didn't make it to the slaughterhouse.
Bred to lay 300+ eggs a year until their bodies gave out.
Osteoporosis. Organ failure. Exhaustion.
When they stopped producing, they were discarded like waste.
This is the cruel #eggtruth.

Behind Burnbrae Farm's doors, hens live in cages to produce eggs sold at Farmboy & Sobeys.
No cage can be humane.
Real compassion means choosing egg-free. 💔🌱

Nature vs the egg industry
Chicks are treated like objects and handled by machines the minute they hatch.
This suffering can end - it starts with you! Please leave eggs off your plate. ❌ 🥚
#eggtruth #vegetarian
🐓 Hens crammed in cages, unable to spread wings. Pecked, exhausted, laying endlessly.
Every egg on that belt = their suffering.
Please leave them off your plate. ❌ 🥚
#eggtruth #vegetarian
🐓 The most abundant vertebrate on Earth exists only to suffer.
Over 70 billion chickens are killed every year—more than all other land animals combined. Their short, brutal lives on factory farms may leave the defining fossil record of our era.
