A Canadian egg farmer explains his daily routine of collecting eggs and sending them to a grading station.

Transcript:

Adam -- The chicken will lay an egg between 8:00 and 10:00 in the morning. Danielle will help me collect eggs. The eggs come in on a conveyor belt and onto the packer which will pack them onto a two and a half dozen flats. They then get stacked and eventually put into the cooler. The truck comes twice a week to pick up the eggs which will then be transferred to the grading station, to be graded and then to the grocery store.

  • really informative and interesting

  • This is a great video

  • @tmomof6 In the vidio, the chickens seemed to be in cages to small for their own good, three to a cage. Therefor, your argument is void.

  • @vivamexico67 We don't feed the world, we feed ourselves, then through out enough to feed contries who's citizens are starving.

  • @AgriComm Don't you think those cages are to small? Dosen't look like they have enough space for one, let a lone three.

  • i can understand how this is wrong, but then again theres a world to feed out there, and all our local organic farms are not enought to feed us all

  • Wow... Nothing like the chicken farms here in Al. the eggs come out dirty and we gotta clean them. Old machines too.

  • this is not good for chickens let them free and sell infertile eggs so they don't hatch

  • fertile eggs have a stronger yolk so you can hardly cook the they should check if they are fertile

  • one question what came first the cicken or the egg
