Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.
I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.
Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.
I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"
You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
Anyone else think how weird going to bed at night is? We basically lie flat, knowing we're about to become essentially unconscious for several hours. ๐คจ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ฌ

It's completely unbelievable that women have to suffer THREE miscarriages before the cause is investigated. ๐ญImagine if men had to suffer 3 heart attacks?! ๐จ#miscarriage#babyloss

@SimonCalder This happened to me and 130 other passengers flying Milan Bergamo to Manchester and Birmingham on 30/03/2026.
We all missed our flight despite being at the airport in plenty of time. ๐
@rebecca_ryder21@Dickwith2dogs A military base was quoted ยฃ15000 by their main contractor to replace some of the little wooden posts that hold up the Keep Off the Grass chains; the procurement officer used their naus and found a local landscaping firm who was extremely happy to do it for ยฃ3000.
Big WOW @waitrose

@Jebadoo2 This reminds me of my ex-husband sending me out to confront the lads smashing the phone box up with a hammer, as I was 'less likely to get my head caved in' ๐
