shoppers have been urged to reject brown eggs in favour of white eggs. Apparently, breeds that produce brown eggs are typically more aggressive to one another, so they are debeaked via an infrared amputation process that is thought to be very painful. White hens, by contrast, are quite civil, so there is less cruelty involved in the intensive harvesting of their issue.

In case you were wondering, brown eggs are produced by dark-skinned hens.

I've got Rhode Island Reds, which lay brown eggs, and they seem pretty chill. Don't know what the Guardian is talking about.

Factory farming vs free-range?

They're not factory farmed, but they're kept cooped up; too many predators 'round here.

Perhaps you don't stick them 1 to a square foot.
