Eggs are 10.99 in denver.

[shalafi@lemmy.world]

That's still an obscene price.

[pivot_root@lemmy.world]

8.75/12 = $0.73 per egg.
45/60 = $0.75 per egg.

Incredible! With bulk purchasing, I can pay an extra $0.02 per egg.

Already started. We have a coop about ready, my wife has experience, we're semi-rural, about set. Only thing, I want them free range and I'm not sure about the wildlife.

Haven't seen a fox in ages. The local coyotes don't come in here, yet, but a massive new development is pushing them out of their comfort zone. Plenty of raptors it seems. But hell, I can afford everything but a ton of fencing, of any kind.

What to do? Just run out with the 20-gauge and start blasting at 3AM when shit goes sideways?!

I need to post on the chicken comm.

[shalafi@lemmy.world]

And about nobody is raising chickens in an urban environment.

There isn't a massive bovine flu killing huge swathes of flocks...

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

We have a lot of backyard chicken farms in Vancouver.

[podunk@lemmy.world]

Lets be clear. Its still bird flu. Not bovine flu. Regardless of whether cattle are getting it.

If a person gets swine flu it doesnt suddenly become human flu.

Things have names and this distinction matters.

[rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca]

That's expensive. I live out in the boonies where things cost more and my local store is $4 a dozen.

What the heck happened to American eggs?

[lovablesidekick@lemmy.world]

And if you are an independent egg vendor you have to submit a 1099 form with your taxes. Coincidence?

[jomiran@lemmy.ml]

I need a high resolution version so I can print some stickers.

[spikesotherdog@ani.social]

$4 a dozen in Kentucky.

[jomiran@lemmy.ml]

I am afraid to ask the price of the Vital Farms eggs.

[tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

(For readers, with the USD-CAD conversion they're closer to $5)

[jake_farm@sopuli.xyz]

Suburbs don't really count.

[jake_farm@sopuli.xyz]

Community chickens? Like community gardens.

[sirquacktheduck@lemmy.world]

Even those Canadian eggs are relatively expensive to what I'm used to:

These are Euro prices.

[jake_farm@sopuli.xyz]

Peacocks can chase off predators.

[thcdenton@lemmy.world]

God i love having chickens

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

Sure but the point is that there isn't a disease sweeping through cattle herds killing most of them etc.

Which is happening to flocks of birds, including poultry.
