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. 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

Cage-free, free-range and all organic. LOL I figure it costs us less than a dollar a dozen to grown our own.
Eh...wot?

Y 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! You quit smoking awhile back then! I quit buying candy bars at 85 cents....
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

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.
