I hope you enjoyed your holiday Egg Nog. It appears that the price of eggs will rise in the new year. Californians are the largest of egg consumers and the Humane Society there has lobbied into law that hens must have more room in their cages to stretch and flap their wings. This will mean larger cages, fewer "layers" in each cage and requiring heaters to replace the cheek by jowl body heat exchanged between the hens. And think of the poor rooster with a diminished size of his harem - expect him to crow louder in the morning. Even egg producers in the mid-west supplying California are subject to this law and they are crying FOWL!
