trphyhntr Report post Posted February 1, 2023 Eggs are about the healthiest thing you can eat. So naturally they don’t want us to have them. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted February 1, 2023 I have chickens just to make sure I have a couple of eggs, not a money project just a hobby..............so in the past I have just given eggs to neighbors, family etc.......I don't have a lot of laying hens so it isn't like mass production at all. A dozen - 18 eggs a week. One of my neighbors insisted on paying me $4 for the last dozen I took to her because she felt guilty about what she has to pay at the grocery store we live in batsh$t crazy times for sure!!!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grey curse Report post Posted February 1, 2023 Got rid of 8 chickens last yr because the bird dog was terrorising the heck out of them every chance he got. They would quit laying eggs a week at a time. Looks like I should have just got rid of the dog. lol 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted February 1, 2023 I buy the Jumbo eggs from Walmart, mostly because a lot of them have two yolks. I only eat eggs on Saturday or Sunday morning so a dozen last me a while. I never though to look at the price though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never checked the price. Crazy it’s so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Reed Report post Posted February 2, 2023 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33191178/ So heres the real story with the egg shortage…don't want us to have antibodies. (Yes, more conspiracy theories from me). Straight from Tony Fauci’s NIH Eggs are the new Ivermectin. They are shutting it down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge Report post Posted February 2, 2023 Even backyard chicken keepers are experiencing a laying shortage from their hens. There was a story last night on Tucker Carlson concerning the big companies like Purina changing their feed ingredients. You want conspiracy? The egg shortage started about the same time the 5G network came online. We keep chickens, ducks and turkeys and the hens definitely quit laying last fall even before these cold Temps set in. We're going to add some cat food to their diets and see if that helps. Our area bobcats aren't affected by the egg shortage. They're after our birds day and night. I have a surprise lined up for the furry bastards. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a surprise lined up for the furry bastards. I've heard of some of this backyard chickens not laying and commercial feed being blamed. Do you let your birds free range at all? I'm curious because my birds did the usual slow down in winter but are still productive. We let them run the yard a couple hours every day. We even have a bobcat attack survivor that has recovered and is now laying again. We're thinking of buying bulk ingredients and making our own feed though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
