When are eggs no longer free-range eggs?
There's a chicken farm here with four luxury chicken coops, each with a thousand chickens, set in a meadow. Even though the chickens have been in the coop for at least two months, the eggs are sold as free-range eggs. Who knows if this is legal?
The deadline, which probably means, ends after 16 weeks in the stable. After that, the eggs must not be sold as free-land eggs. Certainly, the chicken holders have been forced up to the stables, and they are forced to keep their chickens inside. You’re not looking for it.
Personally, I would be delighted to have a little more solidarity with the chicken holders who offer their chickens a life on the meadow outside the stable period. The costs continue, probably increased. Because the chickens are not allowed to get out, the litter must be replaced more often.
I don’t buy eggs because we own a few chickens, but I know the dilemma with the stables.
At the current temperatures it is understandable that you leave the chickens in the stable!
It’s probably about the stables due to the poultry plague.
I’m happy to go out all winter. In rain or snow they are looking for protection somewhere.
Is there any snow chicken, :))
Freeland doesn’t mean 100% outside. The chickens go in bad weather.
Discontinued shall be made available to animals for at least 2 thirds of their lives. Only when this is undermined can eggs no longer be sold with the one under “Freiland”.
