crops or both and many of them had chickens for eggs and meat but they were all free range kept fenced in but loose outside so I never saw
the 'factory' type egg producing farms..

There are heartbreaking documentaries about factory egg farms. I
determined I'd only buy cage free eggs, and I live close to an egg farm
where you can see how they're treated.

They have an egg "vending machine" at the farm, $4 for 18 eggs. I
haven't seen it, but I assume there's someone behind the facade taking
the money and pushing out a pallet of eggs.

Yes, and not pleasant for the chickens at the best of times. I thought that type of caging was illegal in Canada as cruel but either something changed or I had just never seen it where I lived.

It's usually in a rural area - so most people won't pass by.
And it's usually in a very large, nondescript building.

We have a large egg producing "factory" on our way to our dance lesson, but the only way we know it's an "egg factory" is that it caught fire a few years back and was in the news. There's no signage. I wonder why.

I suspect that Canada is somehow behind this! :D

Silly Canadian. Cadbury eggs come from the Easter Bunny. :D

We had one egg farmer in
British Columbia who had to kill 30,000 hens due to that, and our
totals are edging into the millions, but they say that down there
you've lost at least 20 million hens to it

The ifs are endless, and so are the manipulative opportunities of the media.

Hard to say.. High prices would cut down the number of eggs farmers
could sell so I'd wonder at the 'advantage' if there wasn't an actual
serious shortage...

Maybe it only took a few months for them to replace those chickens with
young ones finally old enough to lay eggs. If you have the same barriers
from state to state there that we have here, maybe the prices went crazy
in a few states that got hit hard and not so much in others?

I remember the news here at that time though where they said that
the prices down there were going way up but they said that it wouldn't
affect us here. Could be several possible reasons for that..

That sounds like a great thing there, and the price isn't even too bad..

My sister lives near some farms that have hens and she buys most
of hers from there too, although no vending machines. Usually they
have a roadside table with one of the kids selling the eggs.

For some reason they are all brown eggs though.. (?) B)

Yes, I suppose they might get a lot of protestors in places like that,
most of them having egg salad sandwiches for lunch.. B)
