Animal Well-Being

An egg farmer’s livelihood depends on the production of high-quality eggs. The production of high-quality eggs depends on nurturing healthy hens. Nurturing healthy hens depends on the right diet, housing, lighting, water and overall living conditions. Farmers want happy hens on our farms and want you to feel good about the eggs you buy!

Many egg farmers follow guidelines to ensure hens are provided with nutritious feed, clean water, proper lighting and fresh air. These guidelines place top priority on comfort, health and safety.
