    I don’t think their thoughts go that far in advance. But yes, that’s how it’ll be sold in six months to a year when our chicken populations stabilize. For me though, this shouldn’t even be a matter for the government, if it’s going to happen at all. The egg producers should be doing this as part of their private enterprise, not the government. Eggland’s Best, Goldhen, and the like could handle it. I don’t want the government trying to do something that should be left to the free market.
