Roosters are not necessary on egg farms because hens will naturally lay about one egg per day, even without the presence of a rooster.
In Canada, all eggs must be graded, and federal regulations prohibit fertilized eggs from being sold for human consumption. During the grading process, any fertilized eggs are identified and removed.
Ontario egg farmers are committed to providing high-quality, fresh eggs while following strict on-farm food safety and animal care standards. You can be confident that the Canadian eggs you purchase at the grocery store have undergone a thorough inspection process to meet Grade A quality standards.
