The Scottish government launches a consultation with views being sought on the phasing out of 'enriched cages'.

Scotland could become the first nation in the UK to ban egg companies from keeping chickens in cages. The Scottish government has launched a consultation on banning the use of cages to house laying hens for egg production. Views are being sought on the phasing out of 'enriched cages', which offer more room for the birds to nest, roost, scratch and rest than the battery or barren cages that were banned in the UK in 2012.

A YouGov survey in 2020 found almost nine out of 10 people in the UK believe using cages in farming is cruel, with more than three quarters supporting a complete ban on their use. The Scottish government's preference is for a ban on the installation of new cages from 2030, with this followed by a complete ban on enriched cage production from 2034.
