(AP) — In this 2011 photo provided by Jill Benson, egg-laying hens at JS West are shown living in California's only enriched colony system, which gives them more room to move than conventional cages and offers perches and scratching and nesting areas, in Atwater, Calif.
The animal welfare group that gave laying hens more room in California is working to increase cage sizes nationally with an unlikely ally — the biggest opponent to the state's successful 2008 voter initiative regulating the conditions for egg production. (AP Photo/Jill Benson)
