According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, more restaurants have begun to use only eggs

Question:

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, more restaurants have begun to use only eggs from chickens that are raised without cages—meaning that the chickens are not confined to conventional hen houses. The cost of producing eggs this way is higher than the cost of producing them using conventional methods. Suppose that consumers react to the news of restaurants using only cage-free eggs by increasing their demand for omelets. Can you tell whether economic surplus will increase in the market for omelets? Use a graph of the market for omelets to illustrate your answer.
