    Not how comfortable their life is, how much you buy their industry’s marketing spin about the option for a chicken to stand in a pool of chicken shit, hormones and antibiotics or to be forcibly laying in it for the entirety of its life.

        Eh, there’s also substandard:

        • conventional - absolutely horrific - stuck in cage
        • “cage free” - regular horrific - able to walk around, but they’re packed wall-to-wall
        • “free range” - substandard - can go outside and walk around, but still usually overcrowded

        The best option is to raise them yourself. But almost nobody does that, so I guess you pick how much you want to spend for the chicken to have a better life.

      Eh, good thing factory chicken is a thing of the past in The Netherlands, it’s okay vs decent vs good.

      Rondeel is decent: https://youtu.be/zwleQLKU-UI

      Label Rouge (France) is good: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aHlCEIAOpEk

      Yeah sure it’s €4 to €5 per 10 eggs instead of €2.50 but there’s a big difference in quality. You get watery whites, tasteless yolks and paper thin shells with the cheapest eggs. Same for chickens, the Label Rouge ones are really small at 1.5 kg in comparison to faster growing ones.
