Eggs are expensive. Have you changed your breakfast because of it? What are you eating?

[robby denning]

Breakfast used to be free but now I charge my kids a $0.50 surcharge per egg.

and they're happy to pay it lol

I’ve never looked at the price of eggs but this thread made me look yesterday when I was at the store

Free range, soy free organic eggs in alaska: $4.46 a dozen

That's $10 IN Indiana

If I post anything I’ll get banned I’m sure. But, please read this post by Whitney Web. She is the author of One Nation Under Blackmail which is two volumes. (I have both volumes)

Holy crap, she just said the unspeakable out loud!! And she is right about our current VP and Peter Thiel and Plantir.

Now that the original topic has run its course on this thread, what is the standard operating procedure for you guys rotating birds out after 2-3 years and egg production sharply drops off? I’m currently only getting 4-5 eggs a day out of about 15 hens. I’ve kinda grown fond of the ole girls… but I also want eggs and hate buying so much feed.

Probably not very applicable to you, but on our 20,000 bird specialty egg farms, we are starting our chickens at 16 weeks and running them to 90 weeks old. They are still laying around 85-90% but the shell quality is getting bad by then

We usually kept 30-40 layers at a time as a kid. Once we got the new chicks, either ordered or hatched, to laying age we culled the older hens for the freezer. Lots of memories as a young kid out in the barn running around then my grandmother or mom having me catch whichever bird it was so they could bust out the ol' meat cleaver.

No connection. An answer to an unrelated question on this thread

My question is, what exactly happens with those 20,000 chickens after 90 weeks? Butchered? Retired to a different farm? Feeding the local coyotes?

This is what I was after. I figured maybe they were too old/tough to butcher by the time they aren’t good egg layers anymore. I guess I’d better learn to butcher a chicken.

They aren't broilers so keep that in mind to manage your expectations, but they still eat as good or better than any other bird.

I’d like to ask for a favor. Post the Rogan podcast from today on the current events/politics/echo chamber on tbh. Most of those guys need to hear it. And if they search back in the archives, they will see Ole Dapper was telling them all of this 4 years ago….

TLDR. Got cliff notes?

gotta take the time and listen. careful not to notice too hard.

With my small family of 5 soon to be 6 we eat about 12-16 a day most days…. Also my parents have a small homestead so when we go out on the weekends my two oldest go out and get our eggs for the week.

Seems like a good process to send most of them to freezer camp every year around winter when egg production naturally slows down. This way you're not feeding them for nothing. Save enough through winter to incubate a new hatch of layers in the spring. Your hens will never be more than a year old so always max production, cut feed costs, and have some meat for the winter.

Most of them get sold to buyers that take them to live markets in the big cities

Invest in some laying hens if you have the space.
I havent bought eggs in years. I eat 6 or so a day. With the spike in price I have a feeling the chick's will be hard to come by as they should be hitting the stores any day now.

Super low maintenance IMO and can supplement feed with grazing or table scraps etc

So what does it cost you for a dozen eggs

Laying hens, mostly leghorns, are not good for cut meat they’re mostly used in processing like chicken nuggets or soup and such as a teenager I worked as extra labor at some egg farms when they loaded out the burned out hens

 

[Mike Islander]

Hmmm, from $3 in 2024 to $5 in 2025. For 12.

How ******* poor do you have to be to change breakfast at those prices? ;-)
