Gotta be a record. Too cold for local hens to lay. They are 3.50

crazy for eggs, but it's clover, no way around it. sale today 2 dozen for 7.00, picked up 10 dozen

Girls are laying good...treated myself to a 3 egg & Cheese omelette

Local breakfast sandwich guy said he paid $94 for 15 dozen this week. He said 1 month ago they were $34/15 dozen.

Been getting 3 a day from our 3 hens, plenty for the wife and me!

We sell our eggs for $2.00 Dzn and $3.00 18pack getting calls from people we never sold too telling everyone we will put them on a list but our regular customers get priority and man the things you hear people say about that is unreal it’s like they are more important than others

What store is that? and where?

Why would anyone pay that, you don't have to eat eggs.

$12.50 for 3 dozen at Walmart here. And that's the cheapest around. Most places are $6-7 a dozen

Same reason people buy beef at the outrageous prices nowadays....they want it

I bought hens that are specific for laying through the winter, I’m getting 9-11 eggs daily with 15 layers.

$ 6.99/doz. at Pick n Save (Roundys) . Limited to 2 dozen per customer. Nobody standing in line at that price.

$5.50 at dollar general. Our chickens aren't laying. Still probably cheaper to buy eggs, what wit feed prices. But store eggs aren't as good.

I moved my coup up so I could get electric to it and put a light on them in December and about 3 weeks they were laying again. Our girls are geting older and will be geting replaced this year.

2.50$ a dozen. Local guy in town.

How do I trap for eggs? I can trap beavers for meat but I haven't seen any egg trails around.

I stopped at our local store on Wednesday afternoon, they had large eggs for $2.99 a doz and $2.99 per 18 CT. (genius marketing which would you choose). I grabbed 4x 18 CT cartons. Lasted all of 6 hours. Prices back up to $ $5.49 a dozen yesterday..

Local convention store/gas station has them for $10/dozen. Fortunately I trap chicken killers for my neighbors and they give me eggs for payment.

Thriftway in Pawnee City, Nebraska

And for jumbos...

What breed of hen is that may I ask?

Stealing hens used to be a serious crime.....about like stealing a horse. My Dad told of a neighbor way back when that had the sheriff come to arrest him for stealing chickens and the dude offed himself rather than go to jail.

I just walked out of the grocery store in Mansfield mo. And I saw $11.59 for 18 grade A.

I am Rich !!!!!

"you'll own nothing and be happy". The squeeze is real.

I give eggs to about everyone that stops buy the house. FedX, UPS a few friends from town. I always take eggs to my buddy that is a butcher. He gives me deals on meat all the time. I get gran for feed for trapping problem beaver or buy it from farmers loose rather then in 50lb bags. It is about half price buying from farmers. I also get samples from a seed plant. That adds up in the hundreds of pounds a year. It all cuts down on feed cost. I eat eggs every morning and my wife bakes a lot. So we use eggs. .

That is a thing of beauty

I was shocked at the price of food in the US this past summer. People here think our food is expensive, that tells me they don’t travel.
I pay $6 for 18.

I pay $3 a dozen

Yea, the prices will go down, just gotta leave it up to the big man. They will eventually drop in price as will gas and everything else when they start drilling again. It’s a process to change the damage that’s been done the last few years, it’ll take a little while, but from my understanding they will go down in price eventually.

JMHO It's all about the bird flu, just wonder which Chinese lab developed it for Anthony Fauci, and the past administration.

What's really funny to me is people believing brown eggs are worth more than other eggs.
A farmer sells @ $ 2a dozen white eggs, $ 3 a dozen for brown.
Admitted that was a couple months ago, but I get them extra large for $3.50, but I know them well, and get my meat supplies there.

During the summer , buy and specify unwashed eggs when the prices are lower.
Water glass them for 18 months.
Only problem, I have is they're good for everything except over easy or sunny side up eggs.

Have they reduced the size requirement to be sold as a large egg? They just seem smaller to me these days, and you can't hardly find medium eggs around here in the stores. I like the mediums for deviled eggs.

I heard they had allowed a grade change because of lack of eggs, also heard some were paying 12.50 a dozen.

We have 16 hens. They avg 12-13 eggs a day. We sell them at the gym or my wife’s work for 2.50/doz. Have our regulars that have been buying from us for a while. Always have new folks asking for them but I tell them I will put them on a list only if we get extras.

We just had omelettes for supper. I have around 100 egg laying age hens, mostly bantams. I have more younger ones. I haven't selected my breeders for this year yet. I need to get it done and sell off my extras because prices are good already. I usually wait until late March to sell them, when the prices start soaring up, Most of the people I sell to are not willing to do outside chores in cold weather and get rid of their entire flocks in the Fall. They buy new birds from me every Spring.

I don't give any artificial light, so this time of year we only get a few eggs a day.

I sell mostly chicks and only very rarely sell eggs. When i do sell eggs, I mostly sell hatching eggs, rather than eggs for eating. Even a cheap chick brings more than a dozen eating eggs.

It's a little late, but I should see what I can pick up as hatchery overhatch to grow out for Spring sales.

4.00 dozen. At an Amish produce place, brown eggs with nice orange yokes.

We had bird flu hit the biggest egg producer in our area. They have several facilities fortunately, but pretty sure they had to wipe out the entire flock at one location to the tune of thousands of birds. I also noticed a sign on the door to the egg cooler at Meijer right before the first of the year saying a new law was going into effect January 1st. From now on, only “cage free” eggs are allowed to be sold in Michigan. Prices have only gone up since then.

$4.19 a dozen at the Local ALDI’s !

I have my own hens and they produce more then we need !

Cage free eggs just make animal rights whackos and stupid people feel better. That method of farming does not improve the life of the hens any. It just means they are dumped loose in a barn instead of hung in a large cage. They are still just as crowded. They are still debeaked. They still don't get to go outside. They still don't get to eat anything green or fresh. They still live so crowded and contained that they will die in under 10 minutes without an exhaust system. They still don't have much of a life. It does raise the cost of production. It does raise the rate of accidental deaths. It doe raise the overall death rate. Cage free eggs are basically pointless.

Keith

how much does a meal with eggs the main course cost how much does a steak meal cost

Cage-free, free-range and all organic. LOL

I figure it costs us less than a dollar a dozen to grown our own.

I can’t get 3.00 a doz out of my eggs locally. I normally just give them away because I got tired of trying to sell them. They prefer to buy them from Walmart I guess, even if they are 5.00 a doz currently. I just gave the neighbor a dozen recently and he sheepishly asked if he had to do anything to them first to eat them….I said yes! Please crack and remove the shell!

thats funny fast i give my free range eggs away to some times its worth more down the road

Least expensive eggs I have found, lately, are $3.99/dozen or $4.99/18. If I can give up smoking when they reached $5/pack, I ain't giving $5/doz for eggs!

well Eggs are the better buy between the two by far.

Y
You quit smoking awhile back then!
I quit buying candy bars at 85 cents....

It's been a long time, and I do not miss it!

I sell mine for $3.50 a dozen, get about 30 a day. Feed is the cheapest it has been in a long time. $6.50 for 50# at the local mill for 18% layer feed.

$35/100 here for the same.

Looks as if the prices will be high or higher for the foreseeable future. The Avian Flu is moving with the migrations and that means it will become heavier again in spring. Twice a year with a lot of mutations in a year make this difficult to reign in and with our poultry industry heavily concentrated or centralized it can do a lot of damage.The one good thing from a production aspect is with the broiler industry turning out finished birds in 8-9 weeks they don't live long enough in many cases to get caught up in the disease. The movement through our dairy herds is one reason among several that are causing milk production to be declining the last several months.

Bryce

If I could get feed for $6.50 I'd get another batch of hens....

We own a small chicken farm and we sell the eggs for $7.00 to a local grocery store. But since the hens slacked off, we had to get rid of them and we will get some more chicks this spring.

4.79 at ALDI here, I can go with out.

I’ll have to ask my son what they pay. They buy crates at a time to use for trapping.

16% layer pellets is $10.50/50lb bag at the local MFA.

What!?! I pay $30-$32 per 50 pound bag. It’s times like these I wish I was in the Lower 48.

We're paying about $13.00 per 50 lb. bag right now.

Saw them at Safeway today, $8.99 a dozen for aa large

In the grocery stores around here eggs are running at $8 a dozen or higher.

Eggs made the local and national news last night. Predictions of $10 a dozen before it's over

Competition for eggs really raising prices or just greedy scalping?
Somehow I think a little of both.
Bird flu making lower production but.....
plenty on the shelves here, just skyrocketing prices.

our stupid state passed a law only cage free, can be sold here, store is empty

I read in the WSJ that bird flu is expected to increase with the spring migration of birds, and that will continue to hurt egg production.
Seeing the good looking homegrown egg pictures being posted here, I am thinking to get a few chicks for my backyard again.

Down here in Midland they got expensive and scarce for a week or so. Now its halfway back to normal. Couple stores have them for under $3

Still not $0.99/doz, but sure not as bad as it could be.

If I lived in the country, I'd sure have some layers. I buy brown eggs from my coworker and my sister.

wonder how many incubaters are running this could be interesting 3 dollar give or take coon or 10 dollar day old chicksj

I'm thinking every hatchery is running full throttle and then some. Farms that raise pullets don't have the capacity to cover it, so empty layer barns put to use. Will take 4 to 6 months if they start today before production starts ramping up. And then the other shoe drops...........all that production hits and the market crashes.

And they better hope nothing happens to the hatchery breeding stock.

If you don't mind eating layer stock roosters, corn and beans, and thus feed is pretty cheap right now.

I eat Beaver Eggs

3rd year of bird flu and already talking about more this spring it might take longer than you think beaver is all right but i like eggs and fried chicken to

Ahhhhhh! What does it taste like?

I'll eat pheasants and ducks, first it was potash now chickens and eggs amazing what I can do without.

I make my own fed for about $15 for 300 lbs.
Same price here in Central IL. Chickens starting ay good again just last week. Going to hatch out more chicks this spring to get more layers. Got two new batches just starting to lay last week.

I just got offered the price of $1.50 each for sexed pullets, if I take 1000 or more. That's much higher than I've ever paid for them before, but it's a good deal for this year. The catch is I have to pick them up by Thursday and I don't think I can get everything ready by then.

Keith

They are high priced around here but not as high as some of you guys are paying.

Walmart in SE Lincoln has the following listed:

$3 a dozen from a local seller. Fortunate to have a relationship with them as demand has doubled the last few weeks.
Dave

$3.54 per doz on an 18 pack, local Lidle market yesterday...

We've got 11 hens. Two of them decided that the middle of winter would be a good time to molt, so they're looking pretty terrible right now, but they're surviving the cold. We're getting 3-6 eggs a day right now.

thinking about selling 20 dollar coon and throwing a free dozen eggs in

7 hens - 3 to 6 eggs a day
1 rooster - 1 rooster egg a day

Wait till Easter. Guess they are getting chickens to lay the golden eggs now.

$9/doz in some stores.Locals $3-$4/doz,

Just came from Kroger 3.99 for 18 OR 4.19 for a dozen LOl Yeah explain that one . 18 pack was on sale

No one uses real eggs around here for few years now. Plastic filled with candy

Sharp Shopper here in Pa today…$6.69 for a dozen Large.
