The SPCA encourages you to buy free range eggs. They are more expensive, but at least you will not be supporting the battery hen industry where hens spend their lives cramped into tiny cages. Free range eggs generally taste better too!

The following places stock Sauder organic free range eggs:

  • Cold Storage Jelita
  • Causeway Point
  • Great World City
  • Jason's Market Place (stock may not always be available)
  • Organic shops around Singapore are worth a try too. If you know of any other places that sell free range eggs, please do email this information to educationpr@spca.org.sg and we shall add it to the list above.

    "Kampong" Chickens
    Many of you may be familiar with the eggs sold in supermarkets labelled "Kampong Chickens".

    A report in the Sunday Times (3rd February 2008) clarified that the label "kampong chickens" does not mean that the birds get more room to run around in, like free-range chickens in the West.

    "Kampong" here means that the birds are hybrids of indigenous local fowl with farmed birds, hence their different build and flavour.
