THE PRICE OF EGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[arthurfleminger]

I never thought I'd see the day when I couldn't afford to put eggs on my breakfast plate. But that day has arrived and I do without.

Maybe I should transfer my retirement savings from stocks/bonds and into eggs. Put some in my safe deposit box at the bank. pic goose lays golden egg - Search (bing.com)

Eggs are a target for several reasons.

I think the primary reason is that they are incredibly durable, easy to cook, cheap to produce, very nutritious, and packed with protein. I’ve also seen reports that they help with respiratory diseases like Covid.

The satanic global elite can’t have a food source so readily available, as they want you to eat fake and genetically modified food, and bugs.

You know it’s true by how many propaganda “fact checkers” defend Gates and the evil globalists.

Articles and social media posts are connecting Bill Gates to egg shortages in the US. This is misleading; while the billionaire is the country's biggest private owner of farmland, a global avian flu outbreak is the primary culprit for the dearth of eggs.

How much do eggs cost where you live, Arthur?

Here the cost depends on whether or not they are organic, free run, antibiotic free, etc, etc.

And size matters too! Are brown eggs more expensive than white? Are they more nutritious?

Anywho, a dozen eggs here costs between around $5.00 and maybe $7.49.

I just bought some recently

At the local Walmart a case of 60 egg's two weeks ago were just shy of $25.00.

Now their price two weeks later have dropped substantially to a little less than half that.

A 12 count carton two weeks ago was nearly $7.00.

Maybe egg futures.

Currently, at my local Walmart 18 egg carton for $4.75. A year ago it was around $2.00.

I know that many can't do this. But if you ladies are married and have a little piece of property outside city limits, you can raise your own layers if you start soon. Layer chicks will be available for purchase at the feed stores and online any time. Please keep in mind that the enemies have ruined the poultry feeds. Avoid Purina. They are up to their typical ways of purchasing low bid feeds and to heck with the consumers' livestock. Reports of deaths attributed to mycotoxins are in recently. Two options I would look into are the following.

A. Goat feed . There are some who have seen layers start laying again by changing from commercial layer feed to goat.
B. If you have a local farm, they may be aware of a mill nearby. Collect 5 gallon buckets and buy bulk from the source. It's probably cheaper and fresher that way too.
Go GMO only. Avoid soy.

If you can find a family farm that sells eggs and avoids soy and GMO for certain, that would likely be another option.

dont you mean if you hens are single you can lay your own eggs?

In NZ you can have up to six hens in the suburban backyards but no roosters. Check with your district council. Who says you have to buy eggs when you have your own coop.
They will eat scraps and the bugs from your vege garden.

What, you dont have a vege garden?!

You may need to train them NOT to cross the road though.

You can also have geese that lay golden eggs.

Golden eggs are difficult to scramble but are often poached.

I think that I've come up with a solution for my not being able to afford eggs! My area isn't zoned for raising livestock/chickens. So my plan is to buy about 10 chicken/layers and keep them in my residence where no one will see or hear them. I'll allow them the freedom to roam about my residence, as they please. They'll be just like pets. I don't foresee any problems with this plan.

WOW! Another cure for Covid?
The CDC and Food n Drug Administration won't like this.

I guess a better question is if they were $10 per 12ct would you want to have your own coop?

Consumer information on what types of eggs are healthier is what's getting me personally. Does it really matter enough to spend more than double for lower cholesterol?

I found an article that had everything laid out like what I would've done (similarly enough that I was taken aback) breaking down each types of eggs (farm fresh, organic, cage free, organic, etc.) and the conclusion was that "pasture raised" was essentially the closest thing to having your own chickens without the hassle.

Feed is an interesting angle that I hadn't thought about before so I appreciate that @HealthAndHappiness



I'm not an expert by any means on livestock, I guess I just haven't ever liked chickens or really wanted to have any except in a larger farm plan...certainly not on a small property. Turkeys would be cool though with some geese perhaps and I guess if I had those I'd have some chickens somewhere but I don't want to have another Pyr in my life for a LONG time. Thanks to this thread though I wondered about my sisters chickens and how they don't have problems with coyotes/foxes living up in the mountains but I now realize they have several Pyrenees living next door just on the other side of the fence so they probably get the benefit.

There is a livestock guardian dog that doesn't bark the same way a Pyrenees does but it's rare and quite expensive...I could find it if anyone were interested. It looks equally as bear like

Edit: quick search and it might have been a Pyrenean mastiff (less barking apparently) but not sure, it was actually brown.

Yes, it's certainly not something that most people would consider unless they already raised animals or had time. It sounds like it's getting to be a cash business opportunity for those who might be interested in supplementing with a part time income. Dogs are the way to go. I do think it matters which breeds and individuals from my friends experiences with foxes. I can't say which breeds, but have heard some are better than others from farmer's comments. Pyrenees are very fast dogs. They look like they'd fit that roll well.
Free range is the best quality for sure. They taste so good. The yokes are darker. The variety of wild feed, exercise and sunshine makes all of the difference. Most of us need the cholesterol too in order to produce hormones. Another source is calf liver. Did you ever hear about that butter is healthy and margarine was dangerous? Even doctors were taught that in the past. Eggs were discouraged too. I just wish I wasn't allergic to them.

 

[Billyd]

Free range chickens get to eat anything they come across, and some of it is not very healthy to the consumer of poultry products. I prefer to control what my chickens are fed. Try cracked corn, or a good quality scratch feed. Read the label of your feed.

Just make sure you've got chicken diapers and you're good to go!

Be careful with chicken layers...chickens aren't really stackable and may be afraid of heights.
Also, to get more eggs you might want to get more active layers called players.
