Laying in luxury? Dutch company designs chicken-friendly coop

Published on : 27 July 2010 - 10:40am | By Thijs Westerbeek van Eerten (Photo: Het Rondeel)
More about:

Cheap eggs in the supermarket mean torturous conditions for chickens - a life without daylight and of being crammed with hundreds of thousands into industrial poultry barns. Free-range eggs, on the other hand, make life easy for the birds, but are far too expensive. Consumers won’t buy enough of them to make it financially viable for the farmers.


The Dutch town of Barneveld now boasts the solution: 
Het Rondeel (or The Roundhouse), a poultry barn that’s good for both the birds and the farmer.

A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg.

Good report on raising hensin "chicken-friendly coop" but the reporter should have let someone else cook the eggs. Reporter gets a good grade on the article but a low score on how to cook eggs. P.S. Get a little closer to the pan when putting the eggs in the pan.
