No, never heard of them.

What are they supposed to be? Do foxes eat eggs? if they do there would be no eggs left to be 'fox free'.

I suspect they're fox-free eggs because they somehow escaped being eaten by the foxes. 😉

Perhaps there is some kind of conspiratorial genetic engineering going on and foxes now lay eggs? ....

Maybe the successful ones had hardened up. 😉

Wonder if grandmoon will ever find out?

Well, that fox certainly looks like it may have undergone a little genetic tinkering.

It's probably an advertising gimmick to persuade people that battery hens are better looked after than free range hens because they're protected from foxes..

Probably right and a bald faced lie

I think the OP is just trying to fox us.

you dont think they meant faux eggs?

....perhaps a language or reading barrier?

other than that.... i have never heard of fox-free eggs. are they after eggs laid in a fox-free zone?
LOL

Are they Certified as Fox-Free. And if so, where does the fee end up.(Cracking up here.)

I haven't heard anymore about them.

My thoughts were that the eggs were the ones the foxes didn't get. Someone else said that hens who are frighten by foxes don.t lay eggs.

But who knows.

Yeh, I believe egg production lessens with stressed chooks.

My daughter has some Goanna-free eggs.

It means they are not green.

Would you eat them
in a box?
Would you eat them
with a fox?

Not in a box.
Not with a fox.
Not in a house.
Not with a mouse.
I would not eat them here or there.
I would not eat them anywhere.
I would not eat green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

The fox-free eggs might be from NZ... none, or not many foxes there.
