    Is there a difference between regulations regarding eggs between the US and Canada? Eggs in the US are dirt cheap because almost nothing surrounding poultry is regulated. I’m happy to pay the premium in Germany for minimum living conditions, antibiotics restrictions, no culled male chicks, etc. but I also realize that not everyone here is as fortunate.

      It varies by state. If you’re selling into certain states, your chickens must have at least a certain standard of living. Unfortunately, eggs probably aren’t often shipped across state lines, in which case it doesn’t mean anything for farmers in other states and they can still abuse their chickens. https://cagefreelaws.com/
