However, Lo of FoodID said that the study is indicative of broader problems. He said consumers believe the antibiotic-free meat industry is “trust, but verify,” but that it’s actually more “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

I'm vegetarian but keep my own chickens for my eggs as the only animal products I have is that acceptable?
Let them be. If you want chicken friends to take care of that's fine, but you don't need to eat their menstruations.. That's weird.
Normally on sanctuaries they give them hormones to help prevent them from having so many ovulations. It's not healthy or normal for them to have as many as they do. Humans have bread them into a state that runs their bodies ragged.
Arguably though, if you give them those hormones its just fucking weird and not immoral.
Plus its not like chickens don't eat their own eggs, any one who's owned then can tell you what happens the moment one of them gets cracked.
Arguably the whole act of eating is yicky. As long as the food is good for you and doesn't taste bad does it matter how weird the source is? Especially when not everyone has enough to eat?
