Canada’s quota-holding egg farmers have until 2031, five
years earlier than announced a few months ago, to get their hens out of small
cages.
The announcement came not from the Egg Farmers of Canada nor
from the provincial marketing boards, but from the Canadian Federation of
Humane Societies.
But it may make little practical difference because all of
Canada’s major retailers have announced they will no longer buy eggs from hens
kept in any size of cage after 2025.
