Live action footage of a completely automated operation follows the egg from the chicken to the carton. Delvin Barrett, president of FeatherCrest Farms, discusses nutrition, housing and environmental control for his laying hens.

Watch the eggs as they:

• roll down onto the main line
• are washed
• "candled"
• sorted by weight
• placed into their packing containers
• prepared for shipment

Observe the assembly-line process where metal claws pick up and transport the fragile eggs to their cartons. Sanitation and health concerns are addressed as well.

An outstanding educational video that includes a supplement!
