There was a thread on here recently about that and if I remember right nobody could find that rule on the DEFRA website, but don't trust my memory!!  I sell eggs from hens that run with Gordon.

i am not sure its true but i was once told by a local farmer you can only sell eggs from hens with out cockerals running with them, since then i have always kept my layers seperate and any eggs layed by birds from mixed areas are either put in the incubator or eaten by us.

yes there was and an article in the smallholder. the person retracted it. thats why you now are meant to keep them chilled. remember don't keep your eggs at blood temperature or you may end up with chicks.

You'd have a bloody job keeping them at blood temperature in THIS part of the world!
