Peacocks can chase off predators.

God i love having chickens

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.

I'm not talking about the suburbs. I live by Commercial drive, I have neighbours with backyard chickens.

My primary plan is to hatch extra and expect some losses. Wildlife needs to eat, too, and I can’t fault it for doing so, even if it’s inconvenient for me.
However I’ll also employ roosters, which are annoying but do great protecting the flock. If you can’t/won’t have roosters for whatever reason, a couple geese will help as well, or you can add them to the roostered flock for extra protection, I believe.
Personally, the only way I’d ever shoot something going after my flock would be if it’s a threat to the enclosed run/coop where they stay at night. Or if they were habitual about raiding my flock.
But chickens should be in a coop at night so as long as you have one critters can’t get into, you probably won’t have too many losses.

It appears to be multifactorial:
- Culling last year due to AI
- High demand during the festive season
- Ban on caged eggs in 2036

Denver is a very special place. They don't cost anywhere NEAR that much in most places. I'm in the middle of Wyoming and 18 large eggs (Dozen and a half) cost $6.72. I can buy 18 Brown Cage Free Organic eggs (just like OPs) for 8.87.

This is from a Zehrs, it's Loblaws so not even remotely the cheapest place in town
With exchange, that pack of 30 organic eggs is ~11.90 USD. I usually just buy no name.
