Good: more market for other states, normal, intelligent states.

Agree with your sentiment -

Sorry but I've seen those 1 foot by 1 foot cages - sometime with 2 chickens to a cage - lined up by the hundreds FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIVES... with a moving conveyer belt underneath to catch the eggs -

No living, breathing creature should be treated like that - not to mention the quality of those eggs.

I'd have my own hens if possible, but the next best thing is getting them from a friend - and it's a treat, when I pick them up , to see them happily clucking around the grounds and gardens - FREE RANGING - and they have a real hen house to be safe in at night - with brooding boxes and roosting rails - and clean straw on the floor.

And those egg yolks are bright HEALTHY orange - the way eggs should be.

So those of you who think the status quo is just fine - keep buying your unhealthy, all but useless as to nutrition, eggs. You deserve what you get.

and they should also have lovely music available to listen to, and be able to improve their minds through learning..

My chickens refuse to eat store bought eggs. I have very smart chickens.
