It's always spring in the egg industry—until half the chicks are killed. 🐣💔 Males don’t lay eggs, so they’re discarded as waste. The brutal truth behind America’s favorite breakfast side 👉️ l8r.it/bSac #eggtruth

She eats her own eggs. Every egg takes 10% of her calcium. She's recovering what she lost. Wild hens lay 10–15 a year. She was bred to lay 300+. Not a surplus. A deficit. 👉️ buff.ly/cgddtO9

Nobody told me what the egg industry does to male chicks. They cannot lay eggs. So hatcheries kill them on day one. Hundreds of millions a year. Every egg-producing country. Organic, cage-free, free-range — the label makes no difference. 👉 egg-truth.com/male-chicks

Cage-free. No cage. That part is true. Artificial lights. No windows. One was hanging from a metal platform. Her eyes were open. Later, closed. Nobody came. Another was on the floor in the corner. This is what cage-free means 👉️ egg-truth.com/cage-free

She dust-bathes every single day. She needs a roost, UV light, room to stretch, and an off-season her body evolved to have. The egg industry gave her none of it. Click through for self-care advice from a chicken 👇

No dust. No roost. No wings spread. No sunlight. No off-season.

She didn't need a wellness routine. She needed a life that allowed one. 👉 egg-truth.com/life-of-a-hen

She gets 450 cm² of space in a conventional cage. Wing flapping requires 1876 cm². More than 4x what she has. By the time she's "spent," most of her feathers are gone. This is legal. 👉 welfarefootprint.org/publica…

She came from a barn of 4,000 hens. Her eyes are alert. She is calm in someone's hands. She has never known that before. Feather loss this severe is a documented result of overcrowding. She is not unusual. She is the outcome. She is safe now. egg-truth.com

Cage-free doesn't mean better. Up to 97% of hens in cage-free barns get keel bone fractures. Up to 94% face feather pecking. A vet who's investigated these farms says the campaigns may have increased egg demand, not reduced suffering. 👉 egg-truth.com/egg-blog/2026/…

For the first time in her life, this egg is hers. On egg farms, every egg a hen lays gets taken immediately. She never sees it, touches it, or eats it. Her body works hard to make it, and she gets nothing back. This hen was rescued. Now she gets to eat her own egg.

He's trying to get out. Around him, the others are being dropped in. Male chicks can't lay eggs, so hatcheries kill them within a day of hatching. It happens by the hundreds of millions a year, in nearly every egg-producing country. 👉️ buff.ly/mtQM9dt

Some countries allow up to 24 hours without water before slaughter, far past what scientists recommend.
