Hearing from many chicken owners, it seemed to be the feed causing hens not to lay. When their diet was switched from the certain industrial feed to scraps and foraging they started laying again.

Yep.

My extended family members who had chicken houses for generations shut it down a couple of decades ago. They said the egg and chicken meat corporations they sold too increased their regulations on how best to "care" for the chicken. I asked for clarification and they said it wasn't federal or state regulations making it too expensive to run the chicken houses, it was regulations coming from the corporations.

At the time I was thinking it was a kind of ESG marketing ploy by the corporations (before we used the term "ESG").

Intentional.

As usual.

Will anyone go to jail?

No.

So it will happen again.

Corporate executives need to be criminally liable for their corporations actions.

This shielding of them is nonsense

I only buy pasture raised organic eggs. Brand I like is Wilcox Family Farms. They are in WA, where I live, so don’t have to pay higher prices for just-as-good eggs trucked in from east coast farms.

My neighbor, a vegan, who doesn’t even eat eggs, knows the owner of Wilcox and
says he’s extremely consientious about caring for his flocks. Wilcox yolks are always orange, not yellow, indicating higher good-for-you omega 3 content.
Suggest everyone buy pasture raised eggs from a farm nearest you.
