Why can't this mean that cage free eggs became more economic than caged ones? Nowadays they put a bunch of chickens in a too small area, shave their beaks off so they don't fight, and probably use automated systems to collect the eggs that don't need to be in a limited range. Now, without iron bars, you can fit more chickens in a smaller area, and the chickens are overall healthier and produce more thanks to being able to walk around.
