I sell eggs like crazy for 1.00 a dozen.
The eggs pay for my feed.
I have 50 laying hens
I buy 100 lbs of mash 200 lbs of cracked corn and 100 pounds of whole corn a month and they free range
I have 60 pullets right now eating 50 lbs of grower every 10 days
IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

Economies ramping up? More like the money supply has been artificially diluted. Hang on boys.

Saw eggs for .92 per dozen. Assuming carton costs maybe .05-.10, can there be any profit at this price? How much would it cost to feed 12 hens a day? Then there is freight, labor, and a middle man, and some breakage. Bad time to be in the egg business. Same situation with milk. I think the last gallon I bought was $1.78 gallon. Cheaper than that some places.

Then there is freight, labor, and a middle man, and some breakage. Bad time to be in the egg business. That's why most commercial egg producers of scale have hundreds of thousands, if not millions of laying hens going each and every day. Entry level for large-scale commercial production is a quarter of a million birds. Local-to-maybe-some regional scale commercial operations can be done but that's not where most of the big-chain groceries are getting their eggs. I see "farmer's market" and others selling "farm fresh" eggs for $2-4 a dozen but the percentage of the population that will pay that is small. I wish I could find the 2017 Ag Census map showing the number of laying hens by county. The number of dark colors with the most birds is fairly small, maybe 50-100 counties out of the 3,100 total...
