But it's so hard to cut up romaine iceberg and arugula, do you realize how many knives they ruin.

Yes, just like Putin raised gas prices!

Elections have nothing to do with the price of eggs or gas. The oil companies are making record profits with price gouging. Farmers had to dump their crops two years ago due to tariffs imposed by previous administration, many went out of business. Government does have control of interest rates , which were lowered 4 years ago and again to pennies on $1000 in the bank.

BTW , no antibiotics are feed to poultry, despite the false advertising "antibiotic free". Law is no antibiotics in poultry feed.

You do realize the poster was talking about just 1 farm in his supply chain. Nationwide 35 million birds have been destroyed or quarantined and this has only been going on for about a month.

Since we only use a dozen eggs per week, the cost of gas is a much bigger concern.

Thank you, I didn't realize they were referring to a single farm. Even at 35 million, that is still 10%. It would impact the price of eggs, but I don't know how much.

But we're sticking it to Putin by giving $33 billion to The Ukraine so far.

Fox News said last night that so-called "inflation" is a small price to pay for Democracy.

Meanwhile, the Russian Ruble has crashed to only 79 per dollar. It was about 85 before the sanctions. So much winning.

Was in Rural King several months ago. Live newly born chicks were $7.00 each. After building pens and getting the chicks up to egg laying age sounds like a less than good business proposition. Your neighbors might not like you especially the neighbors who are downwind from you.

This may be very unappealing to you but there are vegan "egg" recipes. I stopped eating eggs years ago but have been tempted to try some of the vegan recipes. I can't tell you from experience how they are.

7 bucks for a little chick wow and than you gotta feed the little ones. Actually wonder how my neighbors would feel when the rooster starts being an alarm clock.

If we give them a couple of eggs would probably calm them down before we get tarred and feathered.

You don't want a rooster if you're keeping chickens for eggs...

I will check it out. Thanks

I smell the sarcasm and the arugula :boxing2:

We raised chickens for eggs for a decade, and had roosters. They protected the flock and ensured we had a constant supply of new chicks to replace the older chickens.

Why do you think a rooster is not desirable when having chickens for eggs? Note, I have no idea what someone with a million chickens does or doesn't do. I am referring to an individual.

Our first egg, cost a couple hundred dollars, then the cost per egg drops for the first couple years. Using the older chickens for dog food and the younger chicks for us food, and the eggs, the cost per egg to free range chickens ran us about $1.00/dozen. But then, we also had good dog food cheap and fresh chicken breasts cheap.

All of which is not relevant here, I think I recall that chickens are specifically a no-no in the deed restrictions.

I’m a chicken hawk , boy I say boy NOT A ROOSTER
