CHICKEN EGG PRICES TO SKYROCKET

There's a new law in California: if you're raising chickens, you have to give them their space.  That's correct; chickens have rights.  California law now requires chicken farmers to house hens in cages with enough space to move around and stretch their wings and legs. The new standard backed by animal rights advocates has drawn ire nationwide because farmers in Iowa, Ohio and other states who sell eggs in California have to abide by the same requirements.  To comply, farmers have to put fewer hens into each cage or invest in revamped henhouses, passing along the expense to consumers.  

Now, what happens if you put your chickens on a special food and they gain weight?  What happens when all of your chickens come home to roost?  The next thing you know, these idiots are going to say we have to quit harvesting eggs because that's cruelty to hens.  

Absurdity reigns, and we're to blame.  Now, the whole country is going to be walking on eggshells.
