    Cage-free eggs. Chickens were probably still tortured and crammed on top of each other in a barn. Look for certified humane.

    Edit: himane to humane. Spell check refuses to let me make the typo intentionally, but let it slip through the initial post. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          Do the laying hens die of old age on those humane farms, or where do they go when their egg production is no longer at peak profitability?
          What happened to all the male chickens?

            There are ways of determining the gender of a chick in-ovo, meaning in the egg. This is the way they should be culling male chicks.

            that being said, male chickens are eaten because they taste good.
