Eggs & Egg Prices

[jimmyj]

Our feed has really increased in price in the last few years. I cannot recall exactly, but a 40kg (88lbs) bag of feed used to be about $11. Now the same price applies to a 25kg (55lbs) sack!

nybirdman, are they ringnecks?

Now you've done it, this will turn out like the R1 vs R4 thread.
The brown ones are better and more healthy than the wimpy white ones.:thumbsup:

Oh my, what was I thinking, of coarse the brown one's taste better. :licking::licking:

 

[David s Von Gieserbrechta]

so what is the difference between brown and white eggs?

Thats easy, White eggs are layed by white hens, brown eggs are layed by brown hens and the multi colored eggs are layed by Hippie Chicks.

You should taste these eggs - they taste like blueberries!

After reading this thread I took note of eggs in our local Wal-Mart in Jasper, IN yesterday. Large were $1.54. Jumbo were $1.84.

I begrudgingly get $1.50 for mine. Guy down the road sells for $1.

There are always those who ask $4 and, somehow, seem to have a market, although that seems awfully high priced to me. Contrarily, there are always those, it seems, who sell eggs for a dollar, which is not enough, really, to cover the feed and labor costs. Ah, the free market system.

Given the high grain costs, I will have to charge $2 this winter. For the size and quality, they're a bargain.

Yes, it's a very good deal!

IMHO, people who sell eggs for a dollar do so only to keep from having to throw them away. Even at twice that you don't make money on a small scale but it does help pay some feed cost. Plus it's kind of a fun hobby.
