Kids Ask An Egg Farmer

 

This summer, we asked kids from around the province for their questions about eggs, chickens, and egg farming in BC. Then we had our BC Egg Farmers answer them! Here are the results.

 

Do YOU have a question for one of our BC Egg Farmers? Ask us how you can send in your video, and we might feature you on our next installment of “Kids Ask an Egg Farmer!”

Inside An Egg Barn: Barn Tours

Organic Barn Tour

This tour takes you through a cage-free organic egg laying barn. You’ll meet Darren, our farmer from Chilliwack, BC, and see his feed mill and his organic egg farm. He’ll show you how the hens are housed, fed and cared for, and share some of the unique features of an organic farm.

Free Run Barn Tour

This tour takes you through a cage-free, free-run egg laying barn. You’ll meet George, our farmer from Chilliwack, BC, and see his entire farm, including how the hens are housed, fed and cared for.

Enriched Barn Tour

This video takes you through an enriched egg laying barn. By the year 2036, enriched housing will have replaced all standard cage housing for laying hens throughout Canada. This housing system allows hens room for all their natural behaviours including perching, scratching, laying their eggs, eating and drinking, and produces the most economical eggs available on your grocery store shelves. In this video, you’ll meet Dan, our farmer from Abbotsford, BC, and see his entire farm, including how the hens are housed, fed and cared for.
