Description

This film looks at how eggs are produced, collected and distributed in Rainford. Beginning with shots of fluffy chickens at one day old, it records the various stages of their growth and how the eggs they produce are collected. There are scenes from Rainford Egg Packing Station Ltd at Muncaster Hall where we see the eggs weighed, boxed and distributed.
