Where can I find information about chicken production?
Where can I find information about chicken production?For a forthcoming issue of my ‘Thought for Food’ health-and-food blog, I am looking for info about, for instance, how many eggs/chickens are sold in Britain, what percentage of these is free range or organic, what breeds are commonly used, etc. Can anyone recommend a site where I can find this?
Thanks! Love, Annemieke Wigmore, Somerset, UK http://thoughtforfood-aw.blogspot.com
Re: Where can I find information about chicken production?Well, all I can find on the gov.uk website (office of National Statistics) is the a graph of price of oven ready chicken

Re: Where can I find information about chicken production?Thank you!
Mo, I went on the government site and it was a bit much information for my liking - I had hoped for just a few sentences, to use in my introduction. No matter, I found something in http://www.roysfarm.com/poultry-farming/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;: the UK, apparently, consumes more than 29 million eggs every day! I suppose that includes ones used in processing. Love, Annemieke Wigmore, Somerset, UK http://thoughtforfood-aw.blogspot.com

Re: Where can I find information about chicken production?Egg Info (http://www.egginfo.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) says 33 million a day, about 47% of which is free range. And http://www.viva.org.uk/egg-factsheet" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; gives more info about the circumstances but advocates a vegan lifestyle, which I don’t.
