    If the prices doubled, are you sure that’s not due to the bird flu going around? Some producers have had to cull entire barns of birds.

      I know chicken farmers and breakfast restaurant owners on a first name basis. It was absolutely, positively the free-range law. I’m not saying no other price influencers could exist, but the market, retail, and wholesale I’ve seen is all about the free range law.

      And most of the ones I Know are torn because “business is business” but they know deep down inside that free-range requirements are reasonable and humane.
