You're right, HOPEFULLY fryers never get old enough to lay an egg.  Stewers
do, but its not often you find them in the supermarket.

Most commercial egg places are set up to fool the chickens into thinking
its spring most of the year, so I can't explain the surplus.
Unfortunately, it hasn't hit around here.  It may have something to
do with the fact that a large chicken egg farm in north Denver recently
burned.

By the way,  egg whites freeze very well.  So if you use an occasional
yolk to thicken a sauce or add to a pudding, put the white in the freezer,
when you have 12 of them, time to make an angel food cake!
