You know, that’s a hair over 14” X 14”. Think about that. A hen sits in that box her whole laying life eating feed and dropping an egg every day or so - or else. Now, I’m not saying that chickens are people or that they should be given accord as people, however, I do believe that how people treat animals is a clue to how they view everyone and everything else.

Am I against killing chickens or animals for food? Nope. Am I a tree hugging druid who is a vegan peace activist? Uh, read my posts.

The whole point is that if you drive economics to the point where you disregard nature, you’ll always end up with substandard food and everything else for that matter. Frankly, cheap food that entails that kind of mass production ethic isn’t really food and sure as hell isn’t what the Lord intended.

My layers have sunshine, bugs, greens and all the freedom to roam they care for. By the way, you couldn’t buy the quality of eggs these critters produce.

Bon appetite!

If it makes better or cheaper food hang them by their toes and shake them 24/7!!!

They are nothing but a food source, if you can’t eat them or wear them exterminate them!

It's a matter of choice, then.

Some people prefer cheap eggs...and don't much worry about the hens' living conditions, only that she (and the eggs) be free of contamination.

Others prefer high-quality eggs, with golden, stand-up yolks. And they are willing to pay for them.

To each his own. That's the way captialism works.

I'm all for treating our food with as much kindness as possible .

But it's none of California's business what any other state chooses to do. In fact, no state has the right to tell another state squat!
