Anyway, eggs aren’t that expensive even now. Even if you get bent over by your grocer, maybe 50 cents/egg. If you get really, like DP’d, then 75 cents. Back when urban chickens was a thing, my friends were telling me their all-in cost was like $1-2/egg. They then went on and on about how superior the home-raised eggs were. Yeah right.
How many eggs do you eat a week - a dozen maybe? Even if keeping chickens saved you big money on eggs - which it won’t - how can saving the price of a latte per week possibly be worth taking on a new and stinky chore for?

Thank you, I've been saying this all along and I think eggs have been under priced for ages. Around here the "always have been high priced" egg brands haven't changed price. I even bought some Farmer's Hen House pasture raised eggs the other day that were on sale for $5.49 a dozen or 46 cents an egg. Zojirushi griddle at work makes a nice breakfast at lunch time.
