Company Assessment

PRAISE CRITICISM INFORMATION
Bridgewater Poultry Farm Pty Ltd
Animals Factory Farming
This company produces cage eggs, where each bird is allocated space less than the size of a piece of A4 paper. Birds are unable to turn around easily, stretch out, flap their wings or exercise. Cages do not satisfy the hen's behavioural need to perch, dust bathe, forage, and lay their eggs in a secluded nest.

Animals High free range stocking densities
For eggs to be labelled free range, the Model Code of Practice says there should be a maximum of 1500 hens per hectare. In 2018 Choice updated its list of which egg brands meet the Model Code. According to the report, this company uses a stocking density of 5,000 hens per hectare for its free range eggs, well in excess of the Model Code.

Animals Animal cruelty
Footage released by Animal Liberation NSW in 2019 showed contract workers mistreating hens at a Victorian poultry farm owned by this company. Farm management said a contractor was employed to "ethically euthanise and dispose of stock" following a recent outbreak of salmonella, which prompted a major recall of eggs from supermarket shelves. Agriculture Victoria will be conducting an investigation.
