“Colorado’s ban on the production and in-state sale of eggs from battery cage systems mirrors laws passed by 14 other states to phase out the most extreme forms of confinement,” said Kara Shannon, director of farm animal welfare policy at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA.
“Many Colorado restaurants are already on board,” said Denise Mickelsen, communication director of the Colorado Restaurant Association. She pointed to Snooze A.M. Eatery as an example, which uses 100% cage-free egg products.Laura Strange of the National Grocers Association called the transition to a 100% cage-free egg supply “a complex decision that has implications for food costs, supply chain logistics and even animal welfare.
A carton of Nellie’s Free Range Eggs — size large — was priced at $5.49, and Happy Egg Co.’s free-range, large eggs sat at $5.99. The most expensive options included Eggland’s Best organic eggs for $6.99 and organic, pasture-raised eggs from Vital Farms for $7.99. Customers stocking up for breakfast at grocery stores can end up scratching their heads at the egg aisle, wondering what “cage-free” and other labels on the cartons actually mean.
Free-range means chickens are allotted time outside, but that can be limited, Scarborough said. He called it “a better situation” for birds than the previous approaches.

Raising chickens is very easy and you’ll never buy eggs again
Colorado politicians love chickens but hate the working poor who will now have a harder time feeding their children.
Oh my god, how often are you gonna post the same shitty article? Are you somehow sponsored by Big Egg?
Thanks democrats. Hope you at least feel better while the poor and middle class suffer. One the most used proteins
I thought this only applied to farms in Colorado. Either way, quit your complaining and maybe interview someone who isn't shouting doom and gloom because it's going to hurt their bottom line 🙄
I can live without eggs.
I mean, I already pay about seven or eight dollars for a dozen for free range and whatever so… After
Good!
Democrat’s working to increase our grocery bills.
More lib bs
good!
you guys have tweeted this story like 5 times now,,. Thats enough now
Love it!
The comments on this post. Try living your entire life locked in a cage so small that you can’t even move your arms. It’s TORTURE for them.
Coloradoan's are just shooting themselves in the foot when they vote in all these liberals.
Eggs are a cheap source of protein and this law, while w/ seemingly good intent, will most likely harm the most economically vulnerable among us.
California 2.0
I don’t know why anyone would vote yes on that f’n sh1t
Nobody wants sweatshop chicken eggs
Any truth to the rumor that said chickens are to teceive feather massages on thursdays?
$7.00 for eggs and shortages already hitting MandyConnell here is your answer to not having eggs- thanks to stupid policy
good, we don't need to have unnecessary suffering of animals for our breakfast
The party of the poor and marginalized eh?
Great so we have to pay twice as much. Thanks.
Great. That means eggs are no longer affordable in Colorado.
'Cage-free' (as almost all of us know ) is a joke. That phrase means as much as 'natural' does.
Yet another example of what happens with single-party control of government. Also one of those laws that feels good til the bill comes due.
Not really. Natural Grocers has the lowest egg prices and all their eggs are cage free already
Americans are the biggest cowards in the world. Just mildly threaten their wallets, and they'll snap to support any injustice.
its all good excels about to go up 10% in january. democrat ran state...
Colorado has lost their freakin minds. 3 years till retirement, then we are out
Won’t this just make eggs more expensive, which hurts poor people who are now forced to subsidize the bleeding hearts if the rich?
Which means there won’t be any chickens or eggs produced in Colorado. Stupid.
Why did you post this story twice? Were you trying to attract less angry people this time around? This will add to the already high cost of living in CO. Democrat politicians are wolves in sheep's clothing. I hope you little commies are pleased with yourselves.
Congratulations on making the state more indigent.. When a Democrat says I'm worried about a grocery store merger, but you pass stupid laws like this.. pweiser
That's excellent.
I’ll take all my eggs caged please.
Cage free eggs can still be raised unethically & unhealthy though. 🤔
Yeah and how will it impact the chickens ?
We pay more for this. I swear the “cage free”, “organic”, “all-natural” products are nothing but bs that forces the consumer to pay more for essentially the same thing
Hey wait. I rely on eggs as a cheap source of protein 😡
More useless feel good legislation from do nothing democrats. They use clever marketing terms to sucker people into supporting more government regulation which equals higher costs for everyone. Of course judging by the last election nothing will change anytime soon
Make sure to send your thank you notes to Rep.Dylan Roberts and Kerry Donovan for the increased cost of eggs during the inflation. It’s obvious your state legislators and governor don’t care about what it costs consumers to survive.
cage free doesnt mean much
