I still pay a dollar a dozen for yard eggs, things don’t change in the country, except hay and feed Back when I had a much bigger operation (fourteen hens), I used to sell my hen's eggs to a local health food store for $5.00 per dozen, and they'd sell them to their customers for $6.00 per dozen. They considered it a service to their regular customers.

A month ago The Walmarks was just under $3/dozen or $4/18. Kids were pricing theirs for the dozen a day they were getting from Henrietta and her friends. Henrietta is the greatest chicken name I ever heard!

Have enough friends with chickens we never worrie about eggs. I keep my own free range flock: I'm still amazed that you don't have to refrigerate them, lady up the road told me the same thing....never knew that.

We'll probably add five hens to the current flock of nine. Don't really need more but the older birds can always get the soup treatment or canned.
There's no way we can eat the daily 6-9 eggs that the girls are popping out now. All the extras are given to family and neighbors.

However, I am done raising chickens.. I buy them from the old lady down the road for 3 bucks /doz. and they are huge.

Other than seasonally cleaning out the hen house and replacing the wood shavings on the floor, I think keeping a flock of free range backyard chickens is a load of fun. Been doing it constantly for fourteen years now.

They are attacking food production. The purpose is massive population reduction via starvation and lethal vaccination. Honestly that is what it comes down to. If a guy found a way to grow crickets at scale enough to feed the third world shîteaters that would eat them .gov would find a way to fûck him.

Anybody ever use that Alaskan fish fertilizer? Basically a slurry of salmon that you mix with water to fertilize the garden.
Mixed some up and sprayed it on some foliage. Chickens were often out and proceeded to eat the freshly fertilized greens.
Hoo Lee schit…….Those were some bad eggs. Tasted like the bottom of a hot chum bag. 🤮

Store bought "aigs" are runny and the yolk is, well, yellow. A fried store bought aig is flat. Yard "aigs" have more body and the yolk is golden and stands up when fried. Wash your eggs. When they dry, dip them in paraffin. They will last a LONG time unrefridgerated.

The largest egg producer in the United States announced it is halting production at its Texas plant and culling the flock of nearly two million chickens.
Cal-Maine Foods announced it would halt production at its Parmer County, Texas facility after it detected bird flu at the plant.
The company destroyed 1.6 million egg-laying hens and 337,000 pullets (female chickens not yet mature enough to lay eggs) at the plant.Am I too soon? $3/18 pack today on my walmark pick up order Yea......$6 for 36 eggs

That egg shortage a couple years ago spurred all the rural housewives in my area to start raising chickens and selling eggs.
There's a bunch of them. Some went overboard and sell like 6-10 dozen a day.
I have a sweet lady that I do work on their ranch that has been keeping me in free range chicken eggs lately. She won't take any money either. She has like 40-50 chickens.
Otherwise, the free range chicken eggs here are $3 a dozen. Having had chickens in the past, I'd rather buy eggs than fugg around raising chickens. LOL

I was getting from a neighbor, but she got rid of her chickens. The chickens are better too. We raise a large vegetable garden, but do not raise anything that eats.
