To meet consumer demand, a variety of eggs are available depending on hen housing, feed, egg nutritional properties, colour, size, etc.
In Canada and at Nutri Group, we distinguish between four main types of housing systems for laying hens.
Hens are housed together in small groups with free access to food and water.
Hens are raised in groups and have access to perches, scratch mats and a nesting area.
Chickens move freely around the poultry house and are given a nesting area and free access to food and water.
Free-range poultry houses are similar to free-run poultry houses, while also offering outdoor access when the weather permits.
The health and welfare of our hens is an essential priority for our producers.
For all types of housing, our Canadian producers and farmer-owners make sure laying hens are well cared for by complying with a national animal care program rooted in a rigorous national code of practice: the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Farm Animals.
