    I’d have them if I lived where I could. The eggs are better and the meat of a pasture raised bird is a lot better.

      Yeah, but slaughtering and cleaning chickens is a nasty job. But...It's easier if you don't want the skin. Instead of scalding and plucking, you just skin and gut.

            https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/cheap-egg-replacement-for-baking/

            What is the magical egg replacement?

            I’m talking about a “flax egg.” This is an egg substitute that vegans and people with egg allergies have used for a long time. You mix flaxseed with water to get an “eggy” texture, then use it as you would an egg in any baking recipe.

            Flaxseed is a handy egg substitute because it’s shelf-stable and extremely cheap. You can buy a bag of ground flaxseed at pretty much any grocery store. It will probably be in the baking aisle. I buy mine at Aldi, where it retails for $3.85 a bag. Each bag of Aldi’s flaxseed contains 60 tablespoons, which is equivalent to 60 eggs. Therefore, each flax egg costs about six cents. It’s amazingly budget-friendly!

            and

            For each egg you want to replace, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about five minutes. If you’re making a recipe that calls for two eggs, then you would use 2 tablespoons of flaxseed and 6 tablespoons of water. (Don’t replace more than two eggs with flax in a recipe, though.)

            I think you can also use yoghurt as a substitute.

                  Two stores, no eggs.

                  I hate shortages. Shortages are always and everywhere a policy choice and an unnecessary one at that.

                  Give me $18 eggs if you need to, but have them on the goddam shelf when I come.

                    I guess the stores don't want to be accused of price gouging.

                                          True, inflation has gone down 0.2%. Nest egg has gone down 10.0% SAD

                                          Just think of it as a 10% off…

                                          Seriously?

                                          I’m not too worried. Honestly I kind of hope S&P gets below 5k then I’ll shift investments into aggressive growth mode for the next few years to capture the rebound. It was only at like 3200 before COVID…
