But.. and I am just spitballing here.. Isn't it very possible that 'birds "living" in cages' overproduce?
There is, very possibly a shitload of wasted eggs that aren't used or needed.
"Living" in cages also reduces protein and other vitamins that are naturally occuring if we are to believe all of the articles like this one.
So, while 1000 free-range chickens mightn't produce the same amount of eggs as a 1000 caged chickens, I am still not sure how that makes them a worse impact on the environment. It honestly sounds like a paid-for study.
