Don’t be fooled: “cage-free” isn’t kind. Hens suffer in the egg industry, no matter what the label says. 👉 www.egg-truth.com/cage-free via @petauk.bsky.social

This is inside a cage-free facility. No battery cage — that's where the improvement ends. No required outdoor access. No minimum space. Tens of thousands of hens in a shed. The campaign won the label. Not her freedom. 👉️ www.egg-truth.com/cage-free

She is still laying. Her feathers are gone. The bare skin is exposed. The industry calls this 'standard wear.' egg-truth.com

Day one of the new life. Three hens from a cage-free barn — exhausted, pecking wounds, one needs an X-ray. Stable and out. Pecking injuries are a documented consequence of cage-free barn density. This is what the label leaves behind.

Every egg she lays costs her something. Here's what the bill looks like. An #eggtruth 🧵

She died in the cage. She couldn't get out. This is cage housing — the most common system for laying hens worldwide. When hens panic, there is nowhere to run. Most people who buy eggs never see this. Now you have. egg-truth.com

This is what cage-free looks like inside. No individual cage. No sunlight. No space to move freely. Thousands of hens, stacked in tiers, in the dark. The label changed the housing. The scale stayed the same. egg-truth.com

She vocalises to her eggs before they hatch. She teaches her chicks which alarm call means hawk. She spreads her wings and they disappear underneath. Every hen in the commercial egg industry will never do any of this. See why 👉️ www.egg-truth.com/motherhood

He hatched this morning. He can't lay eggs. He has about an hour. ~7 billion male chicks are killed every year. For every egg farm, under every label. Standard practice. Not a side effect of egg farming. A requirement. 👉️ www.egg-truth.com/male-chicks

Egg production is not a harmless natural cycle when breeding turns it into overproduction. 👉️ www.egg-truth.com/animals

Scientists proved hens can count, empathise, recognize themselves in a mirror, and talk to their chicks before they hatch. The egg industry's response:how do we make her more productive. The cage didn't open. It got a new name. 👉️ buff.ly/HE2O09z

Ever heard a chicken purr? It’s a low, rumbling trill she makes when she feels safe and content — a trust sound, not “just clucking.” The real question isn’t “how do we get more eggs from her?” but “why is a conscious bird still treated as a machine?” 👉️ buff.ly/HE2O09z

She lays because she was bred to overproduce. Not because it’s natural. How We Broke the Hen 👉️ buff.ly/A1NYaCB
