so the state legislature passed a measure in 2010 to require out-of-state producers to comply with California rules.Hard to believe but California will have a illegal black market for eggs if this passes legal hurdles...
State prison:
"What's you in for ?"
"I'm doing 5 to 10 for selling illegal eggs"

I have no problem paying $5 a dozen for local farm raised eggs. I do.
I am glad you have enough disposable income to be able to buy top of the line stuff but the rest of the world does not.
The argument is the same liberals make about having a Wal-mart move into an area.

My question is why should fly over country be short changed in relation to these soon to be very important skills? My plan will level the playing field for everyone. As an advanced course I will soon be offering to the surviving students of my chicken and cattle courses, Pig Stealing Made Easy. I plan to put the bacon back in bringing home the bacon. Now accepting Visa and Mastercard.

Like the homosexual lobby, they aren't content to have their own foods, they must have everyone accept their foods. We could have a philosophical discussion all day over why that is. Is it because they think they're doing us a favor? Reducing health-care costs? Maybe they don't like paying more for "organic" and think the cost of that stuff can be driven down by forcing all food to be handled that way?
Beats me. Doesn't matter to me, they need to butt out. As for this bit about California determining how everybody else lives, I think about that every time I pump gas into my car. I live in AZ and we get our gas from CA primarily, and we have to pay whatever little premium they choose to add onto the price.

So, you feed a nation by torturing the animals?

"so half the country's egg eaters pay for California's nonsense?"
Actually I think this will affect the cost of eggs only in CA.
Most producers will not comply and will maintain lucrative contracts elsewhere.
Then there will be some who comply from out of state and they'll have a lucrative market within CA.
And the going rate for eggs will be $2.50/doz everywhere but CA where it will be $4.00.
Or thereabouts.

So, you feed a nation by torturing the animals?As someone who has raised a quarter million hogs, birth to market, I know a little something about how best to raise animals.
You, apparently, not so much.
Nor do these other clowns who want to impose their religious beliefs on me at the point of a gun.

Now will come out all the comments from those who call themselves ‘conservatives’ on how if you are concerned with the animals quality of life you are a ‘animal rights’ advocate.

Many ‘conservatives’ confuse cruelty with strength.

The good news is that our food costs are so low that we can have these ‘discussions’, instead of fighting over who gets the last scrap of food.

Huh? You're upset that I think high quality eggs are worth $5 a dozen? You think me supporting local farmers hurts the rest of the world somehow? You'll have to explain this one to me. And it has what to do with liberalism?

It is obvious someone has never raised a chicken and knows nothing about how to do it so the animal is healthy and well.
A stressed chicken will not lay.
A starved chicken will not lay, and the other chickens will break and devour the eggs that are laid.
A debeaked chicken will not cannibalize other chickens. Only about 1/8 of the tip of the upper beak is removed from the baby chick.
Small coop doors help keep PREDATORS out. I lost my last flock to predator.
Too many roosters will fight each other and cause havoc and stress in the coop.
New chickens introduced into a flock will be thrashed and whipped without mercy by the older hens.
Free range chickens require constant monitoring because the chickens will often hide the eggs. Caged chickens don't.
The OLDEN method of raising free range chickens. You feed cattle, some food passes through undigested.
You run hogs after the cattle which eat the manure. Some of that feed will not be digested and passes through.
You run chickens behind the hogs to get the undigested feed in the manure.
Any chicken that dies is thrown to the hogs.
Now THAT is a free range chicken!
Think of it when you crack an egg.

I think you are correct. The markets will develop to meet the new paradigm.
But: When Californians start bitching about their four-buck eggs, California will start looking for ways to force the rest of the country to pay. Ask Amazon about that, they’ll be happy to tell you about their experience with the CA machine.

Caging chickens 24 hours a day for their entire lives, just doesnt seem to me to be the way that God intended that these creatures be treated. God gave men Men stewardship over the beasts of the field, but that does not give men the moral right to abuse them. Nor does our concern about those creatures give us the moral right to control those who do not share those concerns.
