stick to Sainsburys MaS and Waitrose ,if ASDA and Morrisons and a few others can't do it out of good will then they're utter coonts to start with.
Sainsburys do a great offer on the mixed sizes of free range eggs . |

Got it at last Coach. I knew Neil Sedaka had done it on his Classical Sedaka album, so by process of elimination.
Melody: "Nocturne Opus 9 No 2 E Flat" by Frédéric Chopin. Lyrics by Neil Sedaka. Released on the 1995 album, "Classically Sedaka". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUeDmT9pfq0 |

reminds me of my classical music teacher at school. He'd put notices on the door such as, "gone chopin, wont be long", or "Bach in 5 minutes".

A local lady sells eggs they are cheaper than the shops and very tasty.
But they sell fast and it's rare to get any. I wish there was more local produce avsliable. |

29 JUL 2016 — This morning Asda has announced their decision to join their rivals and listen to their customers in going cage free by 2025. Their decision comes after virtually all of the other major British supermarkets have dedicated themselves to ending the sale of eggs from caged hens by 2025. In addition to the incredible number of you who took the time to fill out customer service forms to them only yesterday. To everybody who did this I would like to say a massive thank you.
This announcement is so important- it means that the majority of British supermarkets that still sell eggs from caged hens are now obliged to change the eggs they sell within the next ten years. 2025 may seem like a long way off, and I agree that ideally this date would be far closer, but the fact that so many major organisations have recognised the fact that caged hen farming doesn't offer the levels of welfare necessary is the most significant movement towards a free-range future that has happened in recent years. It is clear to see that the way the British public see food is evolving. More and more, people want to know that their food has been sourced sustainably, fairly and ethically. This is what will fuel the future changes that are needed. At current, the pledges made by Asda and Morrison’s only extend to whole shell eggs. This means that the eggs hidden in own brand products such as cakes and bakery items are not necessarily required to contain non-cage sourced eggs. To me this is not a balanced commitment. If these supermarkets really want to improve the way hens are treated, they must make a change that is not exclusive to whole shell eggs. In order to convey this to them, I ask that you please leave a comment on Morrison’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Morrisons/ ) and/or tweet Asda (https://mobile.twitter.com/asda?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor ) Please feel free to leave your own messages, thanking them for making the change and also asking them to extend their commitment to own brand products as well. Or alternatively you can copy and paste the comment below: Thank you for showing your commitment to animal welfare, by pledging to end the sale of eggs from caged hens by 2025! Please show your full support to improved hen welfare by extending your cage-free policy to own brand products too! I never imagined that I would have so much support in my campaigns, I would like to thank every single wonderful person that has signed and shared my petitions, along with my family who have been incredibly supportive throughout. Not forgetting all the media who have been invaluable in generating the enormous momentum that has allowed the petitions to create the change I hoped they would. Although the commitment of so many supermarkets is a major step in the progression of commercial farming, the fight is still ongoing. Hens are still living in restrictive cages and this is still something that has to change. I will definitely continue with my work campaigning and already have plans to take the issue to the next level! I will update you when my plans are in action and I hope that you all continue to support me and this hugely important issue! Thank you all once again for everything you have done and for the change that we have managed to create! Lucy X |

Thanks Makybe. I did half see it with the sound down, but I had my latest chick round and it was a bit, ahem, awkward to say can I just watch this first. I've made a diary note to watch it later on IPlayer is it?

Always get mine from my egg woman.
I think she has around thirty hens, and they are all running around and ecstatically happy. She always collects my dozen when I'm there, and some are still warm. I get a double yolker quite often and sometimes a blue one. i take the empty boxes for her, and some are so big that the lids won't close! |
