CONSUMER DRIVEN HOUSING IN THE CHICKEN COOP

Not all egg farmers are pleased with the decision by the Egg Farmers of Canada (EFC) to force farmers away from using conventional housing.  One Ontario egg farmer started building a conventional barn last summer when he saw the writing on the wall and switched to enriched housing, a move he estimates cost about 20 per cent more than traditional housing. An enriched barn would need to be 30 to 40 per cent larger to hold the same number of birds as conventional, he said.

  1. Why did the chicken cross the road?
    Because PETA said it could, and its owner did not have enough balls to say it could not.
