Farming Today This Week: Egg Industry

Charlotte Smith is on a smallholding in Gloucestershire to learn about the egg industry and meets a couple producing turkey, duck, goose and hen eggs.

This week Charlotte Smith looks at the egg industry. As a nation we get through 32 million eggs every day. The big producers can have tens of thousands of laying hens, while others sell just a few dozen eggs from the front gate.
