Governor Schwarzenegger: Friend of hens

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed landmark legislation yesterday requiring “that all whole eggs sold in California as of January 1, 2015 come from hens able to stand up, fully extend their limbs, lie down and spread their wings without touching each other or the sides of their enclosure, thus requiring cage-free conditions for the birds.”

It seems insane that the treatment of animals would be anything otherwise, but I guess that’s what happens when consumers get used to paying $9 for 5 dozen eggs — which works out to something like 15 cents an egg — at a store like Sam’s Club or Costco.  You know those hens aren’t living the high life, that is for sure.

This egg-trepreneur is at capacity!

I can hardly believe it, but I’m at capacity with my egg selling business. I’ve already had four potential customers ask me to start selling them eggs this week, and I (unfortunately) had to turn them down because I don’t have any eggs left to sell. With 12 to 14 dozen going out the door each week, I’m booked! Solid! I barely have enough for Jake and myself.

The egg business: It’s lucrative. Low labor output (for me, that is….can’t speak for the hens). Too bad it’s not also a get-rich-quick venture.

More eggs

I realize this is going to get really repetitive really fast but I picked up the third and fourth eggs yesterday.

It’s a freaking ovafest over here.

UPDATE: The 5th, 6th and 7th eggs have been retrieved.
