I now have an egg allergy (thanks, Covid
 ), but we have a flock of chickens and ducks. We gather their eggs and sell any extra.

We have 4 hens.
2 buff orpingtons and 2 barred rocks. The buffs are going on 4 years old this spring. The barred rocks will be 3. We pull 2-3 jumbo eggs out a day:  Attached FileNot cheaper than store bought, but definitely better. |

There are definitely some wired side effects of the China virus. My poor daughter now smells smoke in everything. Add. We have 8 hens that supply us with decent amount of eggs. One drag of letting them roam is the destruction they do. Always excavating. |

We have six Australorps, they give us 3-5 eggs a day now it's warming. Like the other poster we buy commercial eggs only for certain cooking or baking projects or to supplement during molting/real cold weather where the ladies don't want to lay.

Quote HistoryQuoted: As near as I've ever been able to figure, people who are allergic to eggs are almost always allergic to one of the proteins in the whites. Have you tried just eating the yolks, by chance? It's where all the good stuff is, anyway.

Got four ISLA browns last Easter Sunday. They started laying about a month later. Get four eggs per day. Have missed maybe a dozen total in that time. Have them in a 4x6 coop with 6x12 run. This is their second coop. I don't have scrap lumber lying around so had to buy all the materials fresh.
I figure these eggs cost me about $3 each. lol. It's like reloading. I'm sure the savings will kick in soon. Starting to try my hand at growing fodder for them. Because....why not? Have a buddy that lets his free range. They last about a year. Hawks be like "for me? You're too kind." |
