Chicken eggs kill the atmosphere. From now on you will eat cockroach eggs

>>53168580
Eggs are basically safe roids and people are waking up to that, so (((they))) are engineering a price increase to keep the plebs out of it

>>53168580
No more eggs no more tendies for you bitch

i've been to three grocery stores now, all of them had no eggs

>tfw the local pigeons have been my source of protein for 3 years
If you cook them well there won't be any diseases. I boil them first to get rid of the feathers, cut off the head because its mostly beak, gut it because intestines tastes like shit and then roast the rest. Its pretty fucking good. Ate some gophers that infested my yard a week ago. Pretty good, pretty free.

>>53168580
im actually pissed off. This was my go to

I eat boiled eggs with no salt and i am an absolute unit

It sure is. It is also the reason why they hate the farmer.
>Be farmer in 2023
>New tech is available
>Cows can graze on places previously impossible
>More production, increased wealth and freedom
>Suddenly cow farts are an imminent danger that needs to be taxed into oblivion and eating bugs is the safer, morally correct way

I was worried my chickens were going to be less productive during the winter. I'm pulling 8 eggs a day now.

absolutely disgusting. once people find out this scam is going to fucking ZERO

>>53168640
Dude I've got some chickens too, they're kino as fuck. For anyone on the fence about taking the chicken pill, they require almost zero work and are cheap

Why hasn't anyone come up with a stable coin pegged to the price of eggs? Everyone who would have bought in would be filthy rich right now

You're supposed to remove the shell before eating them

It’s time

>>53170784
they lay around 350 eggs a year so basically 1 every single day. they require no upkeep. they eat literally anything that moves. no dirty bugs in my backyard. based chickens. if you're lucky you get a double egg yolk in a single egg.

>>53171080
they eat pests too
>>53171165
yeah chickens rock.
>>53171072
kek

I’m lucky my boss at work is basically an older BIzBro and he thinks this is all manufactured by (((them))) and he saw this coming..so he got about 100 chickens a couple years back and now brings me and several other employees 2 cartons of true free range bug eating cage free chicken eggs each week.

>>53170129
That’s barely saving money

>>53171066
Yes

Dont fall for it

>>53171562
You realize you have to sexually stimulate them to induce egg production, right?

>>53171562
There’s actually types of chickens that you can buy that don’t make noise. Look into it before buying next time

i have so many eggs in cold storage

>>53168580
Same reason as any kind of asset that's not USD.

Unless you have a micro dick, fucking a chicken will result in certan death.

>>53171165
I tried to convince my parents (whom I live with) of raising chickens but their too stupid and city-like. They'll learn one day.

You don't know anything about nutrition, clearly. I'd advise to stop talking.

>>53172921

>>53171562
you got roosters dumbass

>>53170129
So youre spending $3.50/dozen but im guessing this doesnt include the startup cost of a coop and chickens. It will take you years to break even at this rate if you compare to 4$ dozen amish eggs

>>53168640
some questions if you don't mind
how long do the hens live?
do you eat the hen when it dies, or maybe cull them before they die of disease?
do you ever let some of the eggs hatch to get new hens? if so what if it's male?

>>53173756
Also doesn't include the daily work needed. 3 hens isn't a lot, but you have to clean the cages and other basic upkeep.

>how long do the hens live?
Depends on the breed, but around ~7 years if you keep em healthy and roughly 5 yrs of 1 egg/day production
>do you eat the hen when it dies, or maybe cull them before they die of disease?
Only if they're meat birds. You can get strict laying hens or meat birds which are larger but don't lay as often. Mine are hybrid which you can slaughter to eat, but I love them too much and they give me an absolute fuck ton of eggs that I give to frens since I have too many
>do you ever let some of the eggs hatch to get new hens? if so what if it's male?
If you don't have a rooster you won't get fertilized eggs for obvious reasons. Some people like having a rooster because they lead your pack and herd in the hens at night time, but I find the idea of eating fertilized eggs kinda gross. You can still eat them, but you can occasionally see spots of blood in your eggs. I just prefer cracking them and not getting surprises

As for disease, you're fairly fucked if even one gets sick, as they'll all be sick unless you isolate the ill one very early. My hens got ill on my first year and I lost one (RIP) but the rest beat it and survived

>>53170784
Its the cold temps and especially the lack of daylight that makes them stop laying. Put a light on them and itll make them lay like crazy, of course itll burn them out faster too

Poast coops eggbros. I made mine out of a few pallets. Really fulfilling project, eggs all the time!

>>53174690
really interesting thx for taking the time to reply
how much is it to buy a hen, do you have to pay for medicine etc above and beyond feed as an ongoing regular cost?

>>53173830
>the daily work needed
The daily work is opening the eggbox and taking the eggs out. I use the deep litter method inside, so that's an annual cleaning, and I just move it to planter boxes to fertilize my garden. I put wood chips in the bottom which break the shit down real nice and is maintenance free. I have to fill that water jug every couple months (I think? it's so infrequently I can't even tell you). The most maintenance I have with this setup is supplementing diet with the feeder, maybe once a week. That's the next system I'm gonna do something about. Overall I barely notice I have 6 hens. Well, 5 now. That's another bonus.

>>53168580
You can put cardboard in bread, extra saline in meat, etc, but you cannot fake an egg. If your other foods have stayed relatively flat in price, it's because they're taking the food out of it.

>>53175025
You CAN keep the chickens in cruel, gross, shit covered pens, and feed them vegetable waste slop with no protein. Storebought fluorescent yellow yolk eggs are disgusting.

>>53168580

I’m only going to buy eggs from pasture raised chickens from now on. I don’t give a fuck if they’re more expensive, I’m a stingy prick adding to suffering of chickens.

>>53171201

In New York we call 'em Stick Treats

The problem with owning chickens is the amount of egg based dishes you'll need to learn to enjoy.

If you treat it as a hobby that forces you to NOT stare into a screen for one moment, then it is well worth the health issues it will save you. But some nasty chicken flu will probably offset it.
Dealing with animals is a dirty business.

>>53175509
>But some nasty chicken flu will probably offset it.
Dealing with animals is a dirty business.
Absolutely false, exposure to animals gives you a stronger immune system. The cure for smallpox was found after they noticed milk maids were immune to it. Chicken mites can't live on humans, bird flu is ordinarily not transmissible. Just don't sleep in the chicken coop or eat lash eggs and you will be healthier than the chickenless.

>>53174855
very nice anon, proud of you

>>53172984
and too much testosterone converts into estrogen as your chart is also showing
cholesterol is merely artery-clogging waste and the body produces its own, so no need to eat it, unless you enjoy heart attacks at 40

>>53175209
old eggs are not going to appreciate in value. You can't "stack" eggs unless you live in an always cold climate so you dont have to refrigerate and youre storing it in alcoholic egg nog

Will the price go back down when Russia loses and the putin price hikes end?

>>53175810
Oh I thought you meant for the fucker not the hen. That’s not as bad

>>53175723
Fresh eggs that are not processed do not need to be refrigerated and last for months. The ones from the store do need it.

>>53175815
No, prices will only go down when Ukraine loses and Bidenflation ends.
