How Billions of Eggs Are Produced — Inside a Massive Egg Farm

How Billions of Eggs Are Produced — Inside a Massive Egg Farm. Let's take a look inside. Come along on a close-up look at how billions of eggs are laid, gathered, candled, sorted, and packed on some of the world's largest and most advanced egg farms. This documentary follows the whole chain — from the astonishing way a hen builds an entire egg inside her own body in a single day, to rivers of eggs rolling on endless belts, the storm of candling lamps, the breaking plants that crack thousands an hour, and the hatcheries where it all begins again. Along the way: why one half of the world scrubs its eggs clean while the other forbids it, both certain they're keeping you safe — and the hopeful new technology quietly ending one of the industry's oldest hard problems.
