        My SIL has chickens on her property. More eggs than she knows what to do with. I told her to sell them by the road and retire early!

          So enough of my high end eggs at the gourmet store. I went to stop and shop today and looked what they had.

          Cheapest in stock were store brand XL for 8.29. There was space for L store brand but sold out at 7.99.

          Cheapest in my area was $10. Although there are myriad farm markets nearby that we're going to hit up over the weekend, see if the prices are better.

          If that doesn't work, we have a handful of friends like 89th's SIL that we could buy from.

          Please love yourself.

                    Dennys joins Waffle House and adds an egg surcharge.

                      TBH, the Red Star hens are probably the most prolific layers, but it's nice to have variety.

                        But talk about supply and demand...I bought 15 chicks from them just a few years ago and it was about half what they're asking now.

                          Now, for those who need 6 or 7, you can always check Tractor Supply or the local feed store to see when they'll have chicken.

                          For dual purpose, I like Buffs.

                          https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/buff_orpingtons.html

                          They lay ok and they're pretty big bodied birds. Get straight run, keep the layers and raise the cockerels for meat.

                            I don't get the fuss. Eggs are still about two for a buck, which is about as cheap a protein main dish as you can find. It's temporary and will pass.

                            I think the diners are making a mistake with the surcharge. Just raise the dish price a buck, people will get used to it, then your profits go up when the price of eggs goes down.

                              Yes, this. Is it just conceivable that Dennys and Waffle House could be exploiting the situation a tiny bit?

                              I was only joking

                                Cheaper than that when you buy in the bulk those guys do…

                                  Is having your own "backyard" chickens cheaper than the store? I am guessing "no", but never really thought about it.

                                    Probably not for one family’s consumption but if you’re sharing them with friends and neighbors then maybe.

                                      I think it depends on whether you’re used to buying $11 a dozen bougie eggs from pasture raised chickens that are given a foot rub every night or the $3 for 3 dozen white eggs laid by what is genetically considered a chicken living in a 6” by 6” cube with a funnel sewn to the gullet to pour in corn mush and water.

                                      My guess is that raising your own chickens doesn’t actually make sense for most that do it, but hey, Crunchy’s gotta crunchy, amirite?
