Quoted from Aurich:We have four chickens, just buying eggs is way easier. But we like having them.
Quoted from aaron6920:We had layers for a few years and doesn’t really have a payback from the $ side even with today’s prices. Especially when figuring they molt and don’t produce eggs for much of the winter.
Quoted from bigdaddy07:Plus, going down to the coup to grab some eggs for breakfast was satisfying. It was a fun hobby for a while.
Had Chickens for years with the kids. Agree with all of these things but no one mentioned that the eggs taste notably better than store bought eggs. My daughter has Chickens at her place and now we buy from her. Best of both worlds.
Oh and the Stern price increase have turned me off of them for now, I would have been a Bond buyer but went with Scooby Doo instead - better value to me.
