Knives and eggs

I will post once my chickens start laying, they are probably a month or two out still. Great picture!

If I’m lucky, tomorrow I will be eating a few of those. Got four chickens left and they are pushing eggs out like nobody’s business

Weird combo but I actually found eggs and a whole block! It’s from back in my apartment dwelling, bachelor, meal prep days.

I very much look forward to more of this thread

I used to have about 20 hens and two roosters. I used to feed my hens laying mash. But then the rat started coming around. They were fun target practice but there was too many rats. And then of course a dog would come in once in awhile and eat one or two of them. I'm thinking about doing it again due to the price of eggs where I live go as high as $7 a dozen. We just went grocery shopping I got them on sale for $4 a dozen. But the other thing about it is the chicken feed is not cheap anymore so I'm not sure if it's even worth it. How much is a 50 lb sack of chicken feed Purina cost these days?

I wouldn't worry about egg prices, for a little while anyway.

Wholesale egg prices may soon drop to $1 for first time since 2021

The prices retailers pay for eggs are falling dramatically from record highs. But the extent of savings consumers will reap is unclear.

I grew up with raw milk and pastured eggs. Now I live in a suburb which has restrictions on livestock.
The end goal is land of my own, but I have to make due with organic pastured eggs bought at the grocery store.

A dollar a dozen is a damn good price. Used to be a dollar a dozen. I read that article thank you very much

Feed is like $15 for the 50#. I’m probably paying $10 a dozen eggs at this point but they are fresh. Love em.

The ladies are busy this time of year. The different coloured shells are from different breeds of chickens. The blue-green ones are laid by Ameraucanas, the lightest beige ones are from Speckled Sussex chickens, the regular beige ones from Buff Orpingtons, and the darker brown one near the end of the knife handle is from a Cuckoo Maran. I prefer having heritage breeds, who might not always lay eggs every day, but lay for years longer than the battery hens that are done after three years. The knife is a Cudeman MT5.
