20,000 hens per hectare? Don’t accept the intensification and industrialisation of the free range industry.  Speak loud and clear with your dollar and dont accept the industry con. There is no universal or legally enforceable standards for the production of free range eggs in Australia, which means that not all free range eggs are the same. And not all producers are the same, either. Industry wants to increase stocking densities for chickens to 20,000 birds per hectare. Is that what you think free range means? Consumers are being taken advantage of while the big end of industry lines their pockets. Dont stand for it! Let your local MP know that industry has no right to make this decision for you. Is this how you thought your free range eggs were raised? The good news is that there are some labels that you can trust. www.animalwelfarelabels.org.au  and the even better news is that every time that you purchase eggs or other animal products, you have a chance to help shape the future of agricultural production in Australia. Suppliers are driven by demand for their products - it's a very simple equation. You have an equally simple choice to make when you purchase eggs. Insist that your eggs are accredited by Humane Choice!
