You know avian flu doesn’t help and laws that don’t allow chickens to be caged is another reason. But it’s not just eggs it’s everything that costs more 200 bucks used to buy alot of groceries now it buys a couple bags…time for people to start providing thier own food. Chicken feed is cheap compared to eggs. Get a rooster and 10 laying hens and you will have more egs than you know what to do with…just an opinion though
