shit thread

>>18916562
shoot, i didn't think of that. good thing i got in early. as my granddad used to say: "you snooze, you lose"

>>18916536
>do to
what the fuck?

>>18916565

>>18916536
Just get some chickens if you care so much.

The heat of the cloaca cooks the egg.

>>18916536
Ziggy!

>>18916536
my local butcher had plenty of eggs

>>18916536

>>18919689
will chickens need to take the clot shot too?

>>18916536
>i went to costco today and there were ZERO eggs there
odd
I was at my local yesterday and costco had removed the "limit 2 per customer" sign that had been there for a couple weeks
$6.50 for the 24 pack in northern VA

what an unfortunate turn of events! if only there were some other cheap, healthy, readily-available protein source to use instead!

>>18920211
This. Hope you're ready for the bugs, it'll be all anyone can afford.jwstpv

>>18916536
i would assume it costs more money to afford the feed for your chickens then the cost of the eggs are by comparison

also most people dont have the space alone to own chickens

>>18916536
50 years ago Ronnie Reagan and Thatcher told the working class that if we let billionaires & corporations pay zero tax while buying up all our privatised ex-public services that we'd enter a golden age of prosperity.
2023: Eggs need security locks.

>>18920319
giving them your food scraps is free

How is it possible in the USA of all places. What the fuck.

>>18920325
>Ronnie Reagan
This fucker initiated the downfall of the gop. This is where it started.

Eggs at my supermarket were all heavily discounted. ALL of them. Nobody was fucking buying them at their crazy ass price lol

>>18921533
"""discounted""" 10% after the 200% markup? lol

>>18916536
what state? oregon is the most expensive state in the country to ship freight too rn

>>18916536
go to the local pet shop and buy 1000 crickets. put em in your blender with a little bit of garlic powder and cheese. then cook it in a pan and BAM you got scrabled eggs (sorta)

you might want some hot sauce to go with it

>>18918093

>>18923180
And it's kosher to eat crickets

>>18916536
hmmmm.... i wonder why you're trying to spread disinfo? could it be.... muh reactionary propaganda?

>>18916536
So glad there are egg shortages. Let's also have shortages of salmon and avocado, two other things I hate and refuse to eat.

>>18916536
>i recommend you buy some chicks
Sorry, I don't want my yard to smell like chicken shit.
True story, my great grandparents had chickens in the 30's and all the neighbors hated them because of the smell.

>>18920319
This is actually kind of true you hardly save money producing your own eggs

I guess it's true what they say Ray

a hen is just an egg's way of making another egg, and right now I don't see any hens in this supermarket

>>18920398
Isn't that going to decrease the quality of the meat/eggs?

>>18923230
Not really.

>>18923689
It's legal. It's not legal. Well it's technically legal. Well it's not legal more times. Based on nitpicking, technically we all lose. Mazel tov!

>>18923689
There are no insects with 4 legs.
Leave it to the Torah, huh?

>>18916536
They had lots of eggs at my local Safeway, but were completely sold out of Eggland's Best brand. This is unfortunate because that's the only one I buy.
>>18921524
The gop fell in the 1800's and politics is for literal mouthbreathing retards.

>shortage of cage free and organic eggs right after bill gates says they're going to put the vaccine in eggs and other food

>>18921533
My stores had full shelves. I hope enough people reject this obvious price gouging until the usual suspects relent and brings things closer to normal (they will never be the old price again).

>>18923232
>MY store has them? well, then that must mean that ALL stores have them!
ummmm... no

>>18923678
No. Chickens are kind of like pigs, they eat most things. As long as the food you give it is not loaded with garbage (don't feed them McDonalds), then your eggs will be very good. My yolks are dark orange.

>>18924325
Cool, I never knew that.

>>18924333
Oh, but don't feed them tomatoes, they get explosive diarrhea

>>18916536
Doesn't it cost a lot more to feed the chickens though?

>>18920398
>giving them your food scraps is free
if you cook in such quantities that you have enough left over for multiple chickens, you are overpaying by way more than it would cost to just buy eggs

>>18924770
how can i buy eggs if the stores dont have any? either way, there's no way that its cheaper to pay 5 dollars per dozen

>>18916536
same, i saw ZERO eggs at costco. Jews are trying to de-egg us.

>>18916536
>do
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>18923538
Casper knew this.

>>18923754
Funny how they always have an out for every thing being pushed on everyone else huh..

>>18923864
all the results i found after using a search engine claims this to be DEBOONKED, bill gates is however farming and releasing mosquitos.
https://www.gatesnotes.com/Mosquito-Factory
possibly unrelated, but there IS a japanese student trying to develop a way to use mosquito bites as a vaccine delivery method.

Either that story's horseshit or things have changed with chicken breeds and their feed over 90 years. Chicken coups would only really smell if you never cleaned the damn thing at all. The smell's otherwise negligible and your neighbor wouldn't hardly notice unless they're nosy HOA types.

>>18924804
>no way that its cheaper to pay 5 dollars per dozen
I can get a dozen eggs here in Virginia for $4.69, or two dozen for $6.79.

>>18926364
mama mia, 39 cents cheaper

>>18920325
Good thing all the Dems that have been in office since then changed that....

>>18926366
Or $1.60 cheaper in quantity.
Either way, you're exaggerating.
Makes me wonder how certain you are it's cheaper to raise them, especially if you value your time at even minimum wage.

But everybody here is overlooking the real fly in the ointment.
I f you raise your own eggs, you're committing to paying (at least a little) for them each and every week.
I can skip eggs for a week, and often do.
In fact, it's a rare week I go through an entire dozen.
No matter how little the per egg cost, OP is committed to 3 1/2 dozen eggs per week. That's about 5 times as many eggs as my GF and I eat.
Even if you ignore the value of your own labor, even if the other costs are just $1/dozen (50¢ a day), it's still cheaper to go to the grocery store, not per egg, but per week.

>>18926370
>all the Dems
You do understand that the US isn't the entire world, right?
Inflation is rampant the world over, and worse in Europe than the US.
It's not a Democrat vs GOP thing.
Not him, btw.

>>18926373
>each and every
good morning sir

Get a coop, buy some chicks, raise chickens. get some goats milk them. Hunt game off the land. rabbit, Deer, quail, pheasant, turkey, boar
Go fishing, trout, bass, smelt
fill your freezer
simple as and most rewarding

>>18926373
I give the excess I have to neighbors who are thankful, especially now. I don't charge a penny. that is how cheap they are to raise. As far as the work I enjoy it like a hobby, relieves stress for me that is how I "value" my time

>>18916536
it's not the same. it's not a shortage of eggs because people are panic buying 6 months worth of it because everyone else is doing it just in case theres a future supply issue. theres an actual shortage of eggs

>>18926370
yeah and deadshits like clinton & blair are just as much to blame. fuck all of them.

>>18926458
>I enjoy it like a hobby
And there's your the real answer.
My hobby is woodworking, but I'm not going to pretend it's cheaper than buying furniture and stuff.
I too have had to give away tons of shit, because I spend the money on my hobby like a drunk sailor that just hit port, not because my hobby is a good financial decision on its own.
Happy you like being a chicken farmer, but for the vast majority of Americans and Euro's, it's a waste of time and money. Plus most of us just can't practically do it. Zoning regulations, neighbors, local laws, etc, etc.
