That's a great price!
Where're all the Ozpoliticians at?
Isn't it a bargain site , those who want to pay 3-5 times caged egg price GL . Those that don't , enjoy the same nutritional qualities 3-5 times cheaper . I think I don't need to be an Einstein on what most people on the site are buying :)
What an eggsellent deal
These ones are extra cagey than the Aldi ones.
Going to neg this deal because caged eggs (high density farming in general) is/are really a bad thing for not just the animals but also humans:
Inhumane for the animals to be kept in such tight quarters and surrounded by so many other animals
An absolute breeding house for really terrible diseases: due to the unnatural density of the animals, viruses etc which get passed around in places like these have no genetic pressure to NOT kill their hosts, no joke it's a potentially world ending thing (see birdflu)
When's the last disease outbreak caused from caged eggs?
Today. Two caged egg debates in one day.
Hardly any egg jokes either. It’s an epidemic.Epidemic or eggidemic?
(Theres your egg joke)
Why do we need to be humane to chicken? They are not humans, they are very different from us, they don't hold the same value as us. And most importantly they don't look for bargains
Yes can develop the terrible disease but never world ending. dense population of anything favours evolution of very virulent viruses but the ability of these viruses transmit the disease is weaker than their ability to kill the host and hence themselves.
Oh look a JV wannabe, together with the toxic attitude and use of bold font.
I hope karma catches up with you.
Speak for yourself, for instance I already value a chicken more than you, so…
I don't doubt it.
said the invading aliens to the people of earth just before they wipe us out. And no!.. we never had a chance at fighting back. we dont even have REAL space travel yet. I'm not counting on Trumps space force to do anything lol
Firstly, barn hens actually suffer less disease and parasitism because it's much easier to water and in-feed medicate; and that's before we even start on vent-pecking and cannibalism which happens all the time in free range, because chickens are never uniformly-sized (even from the same clutch), and naturally form hierarchies.
Secondly, 'bird flu' is an unrelated problem. Avian influenza is endemic in many bird populations, wild and farmed. The H5N1 outbreak wasn't due to battery farming, but constant, close contact with human handlers, which allowed the strain to mutate and cross species barriers. Better husbandry and hygiene practice would solve this.
Lastly, 'free range' is no guarantee of 'free range,' either. In Australia, we allow 10,000 hens/ha, which is a LOT, it's quadruple the EU standard. If you've actually read the Standard (I have, long story), it's very loosey-goosey about things like outdoor shelter and runs too. So yeah, poo-poo cage eggs all you want, but short of hobby-farming your own chooks you don't have a leg to stand on.
Loosey-goosey, I like that
My wife says I'm stingy but even I refuse to buy caged eggs.
More for the rest of us!
Haha nice
are you ethical in any way? Or is this your life's purpose?
are you fluent in english in any way? Or is this the extent of your language skills?
@bailbondsh: Didn't call you unintelligent - might want to check that insecurity. Just saying you seem to have an aversion to punctuation.
Stingy would mean you want to pay less for things. If you're paying more for free range then you're less stingy…

One of the fatalities for MK11 should be walking into a supermarket and buying caged eggs.
Will surely give the activists here a supernova of a heart attack.
The irony of 1st world problems.
People complain about caged produce while contributing to overpopulation by having more than a couple of children causing a the reason for caged produce.
Next we're going to see bargains for seafood neg'd because pearls in rings or people holding fish up for FB shots will be considered trophy hunting.I dont think caged eggs came from overpopulation, i think it came from increasing their profit margin…
There was an interesting study about this a while back that held a view that people would feel ok to buy "bad" things as long as they offset it with something "good". Free range eggs was one of the most popular, maybe because it's relatively cheap? But then they would add non free range chicken meat. Kind of like karma credits.
Imagine unironically having those opinions

Where else can u get cheaper than $1.49 a dozen 600g caged eggs?
If you can find it cheaper then Neg the deal.I prefer Organic eggs but this is a bargain so I posted it as it is cheaper than Cage Eggs 600g $2 (Was $2.69) @ ALDI.
Keep reading down the page please….

Hi Neil,
Does:
"my mother is probably the poorest person in Australia and she can afford to buy free range eggs."
count as a valid explanation of a neg? And if so (i.e. "I can afford a higher price" is a valid reason), what stops people from negging basically every deal?
And if so (i.e. "I can afford a higher price" is a valid reason), what stops people from negging basically every deal?
The community usually picks up on these and ends up revoking these voters. Too many revoked votes will result in losing the ability to negative vote temporarily or permanently (automated).

If it's not on the page…
Keep in mind, if someone goes around the site trolling the votes, this may also result in a ban.
We've been dealing with this for a decade, nothing new.
What about joking about inhumane practices? What's OzBargain's policy on that? Are they off-topic?
my mother is probably the poorest person in Australia and she can afford to buy free range eggs.
I've just looked at the prices of free range eggs at Coles/Woolies
- Caged Eggs (12) $3
- Barn Laid Eggs (12) $3.60
- Free Range Eggs (12) $3.80All generic/home brand.
I don't buy my eggs at the supermarket but have to wonder why there's such a small price difference.
Probably because producers that offer free range eggs at that price stock their hens at 10,000 per hectare and only adhere to the (very lax) minimum standards.
Suggested stocking density by experts such as CSIRO is 1500 hens per hectare.
If she's the poorest person in Australia, she's buying those with our tax money.
If she's taking money off people like you I don't really care. She's actually made real differences in peoples lives, what have you done? Bought caged eggs?
Currently paying tax. (and so apparently paying for your mother's eggs lol).
@HighAndDry: ok ok i'll calm down, i actually am politically more on your side, but I have some exceptions like a family member and animals.
@bailbondsh: Hahaha yeah. If I'm completely honest, I buy free range eggs when I can and they're not too much more expensive than cage eggs (which is fairly often). I just don't like that some people get really judgemental about the topic. Someone who buys cage eggs because they're saving money (e.g. for a house, etc) isn't a bad person, and to me it's unwarranted to call or imply that they are.
It's not as if I seek out cage eggs to buy because I revel in the suffering of animals…
She's actually made real differences in peoples lives
Then she probably isn't the poorest person in Australia you liar.
@smartazz104: Yeah that was a joke. Remember those? Anyway what I was trying to get at is that she is relatively poor…
(profanity) caged eggs.
Those people who say they are sick of do gooders and who cars about chickens bla bla bla.. I would rather do GOOD then the opposite. earth would be a better place with more do gooders.
That's a good price for the people struggling who cant afford free range.
Earth would be a better place with people who knows the difference between then and than and a bargain and not a bargain
I think they meant then. Do good then do the opposite - it's a yin yang thing.
There are many reasons why buying caged eggs is criticised, mainly related to compassion, but also effects on the broader environment and sustainability issues. If people are interested in reading about it, there are many resources. One readable, and reasonably thorough is https://www.voiceless.org.au/sites/default/files/Reports/PDF… . Having compassion (in any sense) is a quality. As such, people showing compassion (incl. towards animals) should be the standard, and respected, and definitely not ridiculed.
Amazing how caged eggs bring out such a vicious response on both sides.
It really ruffles their feathers 😀
I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but I've seen the inside of a battery farm, that shit ain't pretty.
It should be illegal, then the conflict wouldn't be required.
Another nope from me for caged eggs.
That’s a nope from me as well. Any transaction has to be considered, to some extent, with ethics in mind.
The RSPCA does not consider cage farming ethical and neither do I.
Thats no deals posted by you since you joined in 2013 too
Go figure….
Not really that much more expensive to just buy non-caged eggs.
The key words in your neg vote is MORE EXPENSIVE. For something that tastes the same, this is a bargain
Been here for 5 years and never cast a negative vote. Seriously considering it today.
Why not dilute deals with animal liberation votes , my bad for chasing bargains (thought it was purpose of site ) . Checkout the Ebay 5% offer , it too deserves more negative votes for not being 10% or higher like in the past even though no offer is better . I think weak moderation on topics that should be covered at other places .
This is inappropriate.
Eating bacon is offensive to some should we can that too?
The real question is - will OP be affected from all these downvotes?
I'd also like to see all these keyboard warriors post a selfie in their local store protesting caged eggs.
Why do I need to protest something just because I don't believe in it? I don't need to make a big difference to make a difference. If everyone made even the smallest gesture to make the world a better place then maybe the would might become a better place!
Do you believe in war? If not, why aren't you protesting somewhere against war? Do you protest against ANYTHING that you don't believe in?… didn't think so.
Good deal is a good deal, all philosophy aside, negging it because you love chickens isn't quite fair for the Op.
Think about 1/3 of world population that lives for $2 or less a day… and likely produces most of your clothes, shoes, electronics…Anyway, interesting comment from two chicken farmers from Europe. They've said that they would NEVER eat free range eggs after seeing scientific research on their content. Metals and other harmful substances in free range eggs was higher than caged ones - as caged chickens, regardless of their poor condition, are better fed and don't eat anything random (and hence, potentially more harmful/polluted) as their free range counterparts.
Note, this news is from Europe - I'm not sure how this applies to Australia, which is likely less impacted by pollution, tho.
Also, by all means, I'm not an expert - just repeating someone's opinion.I'd love to see a citation on that one, if your friend had any sources. Chickens do love to peck at stuff on the ground, but I'd be amazed if it caused any statistically significant contamination.
In free-range eggs from backyard flocks in Belgium, the heavy metals lead, mercury, cobalt, and thallium had median concentrations 2 to 6 times higher than those of commercial eggs, presumably due to soil contamination
https://www.poultryscience.org/docs/PS_794.pdfA simple google would yield answers that you need, yet no one can link me a non-biased reason why I shouldnt buy caged eggs.
IMO the only non biased reason would be the ethical side of it. I think most of the other stuff is made up by people want to justify their ethical actions with other reasons.
@Mixhael: If people truly wanted to be ethical they wouldn’t eat any animal related products, yet for some reason only caged eggs brings out the keyboard warriors.
@mmd if you have a quick look at your reference the commercial eggs they are referring to are also free range…
Being 2-8 times the concentration doesn't necessarily mean it's harmful either. E. G. 8 times 0.0001mg/l is 0.0008mg/l but this would still be well below the guidelines of lead in drinking water.
Therefore, you should say backyard free range chicken eggs contained higher metal concentrations than free range chicken eggs from commercial farms in Belgium. These backyard eggs may or may not be harmful if you overindulge in them. This is really not relevant to the discussion of cage eggs vs free range so I'm not sure why you brought this up mmd :)

A friend of mine was telling me a while back that 'Free Range' chickens only need to be released into said 'range' for like 30mins/day to be classified as free range! The rest of the time they're caged…
There's more to every story that most ppl don't investigate to the full extent, they just jump on the bandwagon…!
Same with 'organic'. There is no governing body nor legislation.
Certified Organic farming is regulated (as in fruit/veg, unsure about livestock etc)…
Just whacking an 'Organic' sticker on something, sadly isn't… Sometimes you can't tell for sure, i agree…
Regulates by what? Self-regulated? Yeah.
My mother works in the bio security industry (plants), ‘organic’ is effectively fairly meaningless. Just like your 30 min per day example - apply that.
@StickMan: I'm struggling to find the correlation between 'Bio-security' & 'Organic' farming?
I wasn't aware our border controls extended to farms? Aren't they in the airport mainly??
Although that being said - half of the Pesticides in use by some farmers would probably be of interest to ur mum though…?
@Bunsen: State department bio security. Audits farms. Checks produce shipments. Ensures correct chemicals are used, correct doses, etc.
When they put label ‘bio’ it means nothing. And if they exclusively sell to local markets, there are ZERO rules in place. They can use whatever chemicals they want.
A friend of mine was telling me a while back that 'Free Range' chickens only need to be released into said 'range' for like 30mins/day to be classified as free range!
It's not even that. Australia requires 'regular outdoor access' to quality for free range labelling, but exactly what counts as 'regular' isn't specified. 2hr daily? 4hr? Weekly? Furthermore, many hens don't forage outdoors even when outdoor runs are provided, because unlike the EU, there's no legal requirement to provide shade, etc.
'Free range' is notoriously vague, so it's a strange hill to die on.
Thats mostly because we have terrible non-existent regulations concerning how free range chickens farms should operate.
But nothing changes by itself. The more public calls out against battery farms, the more likely the government still stop being useless and actually regulate the free range industry.
Nice. This one is even cheaper than Aldi deal.
only for ppl in NSW though.
I am still happy for them. 😊
I picked up my Coles order on the way home this arv and they included a carton of cage eggs I hadn't ordered. It feels like it's an OzB caged eggs day miracle.
I don't usually go caged eggs but waste not want not.. don't look a gift chicken in the beak?
please search google images for "cage hens" and then tell me you are ok with this.
Lookup child brides and tell me you are ok with that
I'm not sure i understand where you are going with this.
Unless you are 100% vegan please don’t bother.
