Farm (eggs)
ChickensBridgewater Poultry is owned by Peter Bozzo, Tony Nesci, Luigi Napolitano and David Scaunich. The property has sheds containing both barn-laid and caged egg-laying hens.
Previously exposed by Animal Liberation in 2019, hidden camera footage revealed 'spent' layer hens being gassed to death using carbon dioxide. Also uncovered was the shocking cruelty displayed to hens, who were beaten and abused by workers.
In 2025, anonymous investigators entered the farm to document the conditions inside. They found sheds with chickens packed together on the floor and on perches. The hens were so dense that investigators struggled to move between them, looking for evidence of pecking.
Bridgewater Poultry eggs are packaged as 'Victorian Fresh Barn Laid Eggs' and are sold in Woolworths, Coles and independent stores in NSW, VIC, TAS, ACT and SA. In March of 2019, their eggs were recalled after five people contracted salmonella enteritidis.

On cage farms, hens can be allowed as little as 550cm2 of space, roughly the size of an A4 piece of paper. The other 45% of egg-laying hens are raised in cage-free systems, a loose umbrella term that covers both certified free-range production systems, as well as 'barn-laid' egg farms where hens...
