A nice option for sure. I buy the quarts and add it to my drinks.
As far as eating though, I like the whole eggs. Yolk is the best part.
Choline, VIT D, boosts testosterone, etc...

I spend about $25/month feeding 8 hens, get almost 180 eggs a month on that not a bad investment

$25/180 = $.13/egg.

Meh.  If you enjoy it fine. 

At normal prices of say $2/dozen it's $.16/egg.

Figure in your time, etc. and it makes no sense really.

Making your own beer or changing your own motor oil makes no sense either.

You do it because you like to do it.

$1.56 per dozen organic fed zero medication fresh eggs. Bigger than xtra large from the store. We also get free rich fertilized soil from the run, organic compost from the hemp I use in the henhouse, and never have to go to the store for them.

If food supplies were scarce it is a wealth of great protein from my backyard. This spring we are going to add another enclosed run and a single rooster and start breeding chicks.

The effort to own is less than driving for store bought eggs. Just pull the eggs every afternoon, reload feeders a couple times a month. Light raking and that’s it. I have a metal roof on the enclosure with gutters and a rain barrel that supplies a water pipe with pecking spouts.

With zero extra effort could easily have 15 hens in there and double output. My entire current setup is 20x6. It is an exact copy of a “Carolina Coop” that are sold for 6-10k, built mine for about $1100 4 years ago.

I think this is an absolute steal.

Irnonat does not believe this stuff matters, I think, hence why he compared your type of egg to the mass produced, industrial style.

Would love to live in a place where I could have the opportunity to do similar. Don't know anything about the process, but find it impressive and certainly think it would be a healthier option than what's available at supermarkets.

Another thing is the taste, I find my small farm eggs to be infinitely tastier than some sam clubs eggs

[IroNat]

I think it's great to have your own eggs,

Dollars and cents wise it doesn't make sense really.

That's all.

Bigtime.....the yolks are almost orange too  instead of being pale yellow.

That's all.

You can`t beat the deal I get from my buddy......between 6-8 dozen or more at times, for 5 bucks....you can`t beat that with a bat.

It makes tremendous sense if you want organic, clean, farm fresh eggs.

He showed you the math.

You compared it to the mass produced walmart cruelty raised eggs, which are currently 4.80/doz on their site (no idea of what it costs in store, by region).

No.

[Grape Ape]

No.

Can you show us where you get his type of eggs for less than than the costs he shared?

[deadz]

Eggs... ::)Isopure low carb protein powder 3lb jumped from $42 a year ago to $76 now. That's something to complain about.

[IroNat]

Not now.

My comparison was based on $2/dozen.

Stop egging me on.

[OneMoreRep]

Haven't read much regarding rest of the exchanges between you and Ape (so can't comment on who's got a point), but this line was apropos to the thread.

Well played.

I can remember not all that long ago when eggs were .99 cents a dozen......I had a wall of eggs in my fridge.

[Grape Ape]

Eggsellent reply.

However, you cannot get the kind of eggs he has for $2/dozen, even during "normal" times.

Note to self, don’t eat at Wes’s. Eggs are beat with a fork or a whisk not a 🦇.

[IroNat]

Grape is intent on making me look like I have egg on my face.

[Dave D]

Yes, the yolk is on you.

[ThisisOverload]

I'd have my own hens if i could, it's restricted in my community.

[Grape Ape]

Yes, the yolk is on you.

I'm just using him as an eggsample of why context is important.

[Primemuscle]

It’s not a fluke.

Unless it’s happening all over the SoCal market.

Did you mean to post that it is not a fluke if it is happening all over the SoCal market? Or, did you mean it is a fluke unless it is happening all over the SoCal market?

I read there was an egg shortage about two ago because of the bird flu. About half the eggs sold in markets in California come from Northern California. The other half come from Southern California. Weird. Does this mean no eggs come from Central California? Are the chickens out on strike? 

[Primemuscle]

Went to Costco the other day as I usually like to buy 4-5 packs (Kirkland 24 egg/pack) of eggs at a time. When I went to the register they were limiting the purchase to only 2 packs of eggs per customer. I paid, proceeded to put away the purchase in my car and then went back in, got 2 more packs and went through the self check-out. The guy at the store exit (holding a marker to place a check mark over your receipt) smiled when he realized this was my second go around.
