Awesome, thanks! Looks like the difference in number of chickens required per egg is basically dominated by the 4% change in demand, working out to about 3.5% fewer chickens. It seems plausible to me that the roughly 3.5% fewer chickens raised might even dominate the changes in average welfare, assuming their lives are very bad either way.

There are also recent analyses of ballot initiatives in California, both ex ante and ex post that might tell us about this, too, e.g.: http://โโwww.zachgroff.com/โโ2017/โโ11/โโanimal-welfare-reforms-are-looking.html?m=1
