Good Eggs – Eggs in Canada

Each Canadian eats an average of about 190 eggs a year.

In total, Canada has about 20 million egg-laying hens laying about 7 billion eggs each year.

Canada has just over one thousand regulated egg farms with an average of between 17,000 and 18,000 hens each.

One egg farm in the United States, which is home to about 280 million egg-laying hens, can produce as many eggs as all of the egg farms in Canada combined.
