Cudos to Austria for enacting an animal rights law with teeth! A fine example for other countries to follow.

"Chicken farmers will be allowed several years to phase in the new rules. Those who recently invested in new cages will have until 2020 to turn their birds loose to run free inside fences."

Yes, this particular point seems rather ridiculous.

In 2020, consumers there can expect a significant increase in the price of eggs.

Not that much, free range eggs aren't that much more expensive than Battery one's. (In the UK anyway...)

Are you sure they are not battery eggs with different packaging?

Yes: sure. They need certification to use "free range" on the packaging. Otherwise its big lawbreaking. Alas some less than reputable battery egg sellers use "Farm Fresh", "Farm Range" and the like in a similar text colour/font to fool the unwarey.
