Went to Morrisons today to get some eggs as they sell 6 free range ones for 55p which in my opinion is an absolute bargain but as pe bloody usual they had none in stock. Anyway, I went to another shop in town (I don't want to say the name of the shop for fear of reprisals) and the only eggs they had in stock were those cruel eggs from battery hens (NOT free range).
My question is if you were desperate for an egg and the only ones you could buy were the cruel ones (made by chickens in cages) would you buy them? Personally I would but hey ho we are all free to do what we want (within the law)
Edit: I meant I went to Morrisons yesterday (Saturday) [Post edited 4 Dec 2022 5:29]

Just wondering what reprisals you are expecting from naming the shop you went to? And also wondering if this moral dilemma kept you awake all night seeing as you posted this so early? |  |

Don’t have any water cress with them if you make a sandwich either. Have you seen how they force crowd that stuff together? |  | | |

I went to Tesco Martlesham the other day to pick Mother up some eggs and they didn't have a single egg in the place.
Having worked on and egg farm for three days I would never buy a battery egg under any circumstances........... nor a battery chicken
.........which is obviously massively hypercritical as I am sure the cafes and restaurants I eat in use battery eggs and chickens and I am happy to eat other forms of mass produced animal foodstuffs |  |

I think he likes an early bath.
I'm shocked at how cheep Morrisons' free range eggs are though! |  |

In your first paragraph is the route of the egg issues. At present it’s costing around £1.30 to produce a 1/2 of eggs. The supermarkets lack of willing to pay the extra 40-50p required is leading to farms packing up, which is the real reason behind the egg shortage.
If you can, buy your eggs direct from a chicken farm. | | | |

I was going to pull you up on this and say that surely an egg is squeezed out of the urethra rather than the anus but I wisely decided to Google first and find that hens have a chamber called the cloaca where the reproductive and excretory tracts meet:

Thank goodness eggs come with a shell on them. |  |

This! The supermarkets blaming bird flu is disingenuous to say the least.
As Ioan states, the farmers are getting a "paltry price"

He did.
Or did you mean that he could go to another shop after the second shop ?
More fear of reprisals though... | |

Alright Stevey?
Most Sundays I hire an enclosed field for my hounds and it's about 35 mins away in the middle of nowhere. En route there are usually a few houses with little wooden stall things outside that sell eggs which you presume come from their own chickens - I think they are about £1 per half dozen.
Thing is - some places have misshapen eggs of all sizes covered in sh1t and I noticed recently that one place had pretty clean eggs with date stamps on - now then, would a small cottage industry home producer have an egg stamp or have they bought them in? | |

All good thanks Alan.
Is that place near Sweffling? They have masses of cheap stamped eggs too but because they are a large producer that also supplies supermarkets. Her hens are not in her garden but they are still her hens. Might be the same with your one. | |

I have no idea where Sweffling is
The dog field is in Monk Soham so anywhere my Sat Nav takes me from IP4 to Monk Soham - but it's just a large house from what I can see.
Actually - I tell a lie, there is another field we use that has an address as Woodbridge but it's actually near Grundisburgh - pretty sure it's next to there - IP13 6RR
Edit - My OCD just got the better of me and I've just googled Sweffling and it's nowhere near there......
But what you are saying is that the stamped eggs may be on the level and I haven't been duped in some sort of Grundisburgh egg counterfeiting scandal? | |

That is what I am saying....I think.
Do they say if they are free range or not? | |

Go to as many shops as possible. Let the reprisals rain down on him like never ending rain. | | | |

Yes - advertised as Free Range
It's a cartel I tell ya.
I reckon Eddie Richardson is behind it. | |

I have the solution for you, but only a brave person that isn’t scared of reprisals would be able to see it through. And, it’s cheaper than 55p.
Yea, not sure you are ready, so I won’t trouble you with it. |  | | |

Desperate for an egg...
No one should be buying eggs from caged chickens. If no one bought them they would stop selling them. |  |
