Ref the eggs, don't always take it as true that the chickens you see have
produced the eggs you buy. As a mechanic who used to work on farm tractors
and behind the scenes you see a different picture. You have a few nice
chickens near where people stop to buy farm produce and hidden away is a
batterry hen building containing about ten thousand hens. There was a pub
that sold eggs 30 at a time and stacked about 10 trays high. Along side the
pub were a few chickens and the bright people from the city never wondered
how so few chickens produced so many eggs!
