There will be no more free range eggs on the shop shelvesfrom Monday. All flocks are being kept inside due to Aviation flu. Well they certainly kept that quiet.

All farming is industrial. This flu has particularly affected free range - which is the "best" for bird welfare. As for flu - the bird population is the repository that kills thousands annually - so there is a bit of balance.

"I didn’t think chickens could fly "

Chickens can fly but owners often clip their wings to prevent it. They cannot fly far which is why fox's in particular prey on them. A fox in a henhouse will kill every hen regardless of the fact that they only need to eat one. That's why many farmers shoot the buggers

Mine do not have their wings clipped and I can guarantee you they can flap and potentially roost in a tree. But they aren't flying off anywhere far even though their wings are not clipped. Plus they like their coup they huddle up in there on their own accord when it starts to get dark, thereby stopping Mr Fox getting to them.

You still have to keep your backyard flock indoors at the moment, so technically still not free range.

No. Free range requires free access to outdoor space of a certain size per number of hens. They will be relabelled barn eggs whilst the restrictions remain in place.

Free range eggs are nice, but be careful what you wish for.

We have 20 chooks mostly heavy French breeds but we also have a group of 6 legbars and marans who actually sleep in a tree they kinda scramble up buy in the morning they do fly down. We'll more they use their wings at warp speed to avoid crashing into the ground but they are really high up at night.

There were two cases of avian flu in the area I work but apparently they weren't a strain that was transmissible to humans. I imagine farmers still want to protect their flocks of chickens from being wiped out by it from a financial point of view though.

There are very little free range eggs about these days anyway, the ones marked free range only have to comply with this

The full definition includes reference to outside space:

Hens must have continuous daytime access to runs which are mainly covered with vegetation and a maximum stocking density of 2,500 birds per hectare. The hen house conditions for free range hens must comply with the regulations for birds kept in barn systems, with a maximum stocking density of 9 hens per square metre of useable area.

Hens must be provided with next boxes. Adequate perches, providing 15 centimetres of perch per hen, must also be provided. Litter must be provided, accounting for one-third of the ground surface - this is used for scratching and dust bathing.
