Egg farmers are individuals or businesses that raise chickens specifically for the production of eggs. They manage the care, feeding, and housing of hens to ensure optimal egg production. These farmers may operate on small family farms or large commercial operations, and they often follow specific guidelines to maintain the health and welfare of their birds. The eggs produced by egg farmers are collected, cleaned, and packaged for sale to consumers, grocery stores, and restaurants. Egg farming practices can vary, with some farmers using traditional methods while others may employ more modern techniques, such as cage-free or organic farming, to meet consumer demand for ethically produced eggs.
