Why eat Free-Range Farm Fresh Eggs?
The Great life of a Free-Range Chicken: Cinnamon Roost chickens do what all chickens do naturally; they roam the pasture all day and eat mostly grass, bugs and weeds. They are protected by their lead rooster and socially interact with their “friends” as they wish (This is sometimes hilarious to watch). They repel parasites naturally by taking dust “baths”. We also rotate their movable coops quarterly. As a supplement, we offer them a complete nutritionally balanced feed with NO additives, antibiotics, hormones or chemicals.

The Ugly life of a Caged Chicken: Bred in huge production facilities, the male baby of caged chickens are of no use and are disposed of like garbage. Female chicks are grown in extremely cramped and dark conditions and fed a processed diet full of hormones, pesticides and antibiotics. Once they reach laying age, they are put into cages less than half the size of an A4 sheet of paper. The wire floor in these cages slopes down on an angle. This prevents the hens from sitting properly and their feet often become deformed as a result. They also have the tips of their beaks cut or burnt off to try and prevent them doing any damage to the other birds caged right beside them. In fact, some of these toxic, windowless warehouses can contain as many as 100,000 caged chickens, never seeing sunlight and fed a diet of corn waste and chemicals.

- Six times more essential vitamin D
- Significantly more B vitamins

and zeaxanthin, but the pale, watery yellow yolks in eggs from caged chickens,
fed the waste products of the grain industry, contain very little.

- Three times more vitamin E
- Seven times more pro-vitamin A beta-carotene
- A quarter less saturated fat
