Transitioning to Cage-Free Hen Housing
Starting January 1, Colorado Egg Producers Will Begin Transitioning to Cage-Free Hen Housing
Soon all eggs sold at Colorado grocery stores will be from cage-free hens. The Colorado general assembly passed HB20-1343 to advance animal welfare by requiring Colorado’s egg-laying hens to be housed in a cage free environment. Additionally, the act also prohibits business owners from selling or transporting for sale in Colorado egg products that are not from a cage-free farm.
