NATURAL chickens (like what my mother keeps) definitely have a decrease in egg production in the winter, don't know why price of eggs from chickens in artificial environments should go up, except traditional cycles... BTW, egg-laying chickens and meat-chickens have been bred to being very different birds...egg-laying chickens are these hyper, SCRAWNY, little things, chickens for eating put on weight so fast they were having trouble for a while because the legs weren't strong enough for the bird...
