Hannaford in my area has large white a dollar more than large brown.  WTH is the difference? 

[grampy]

The only difference is the color. And of course the price.

They both taste the same.

New flock coming this spring from a good friend that is hatching out a couple dozen chicks.

I couldn’t tell you the price in our area, mostly because my wife does most of the shopping and we don’t eat all that many I guess.  A dozen might last us 2+ weeks?

I make 3 fired eggs every morning with Cooper black pepper cheese melted on top. 

My 3 muts get one split among them, whenever my wife and I don't go to bfast, which is at least twice a week.

Eggs are insane right now, I sell eggs commercially and diners are paying anywhere from $150-$190 for 30dzn eggs in flats

Wife was at Costco today.$13 for 2 dozen "organic" eggs...we used get the 5 dozen brick of eggs for that price. Thankfully the boys are back to school. They were good for 6-8  each morning (morning being somewhere around 11am or noon!) through Christmas break.

Funny   up here in NH the white eggs are usually less expensive than the brown eggs . The other day they were 6 bucks a dozen for either one . 2019 they were 89 cents a dozen for white  and 10-20 cents more for brown.  Prices have fluctuated between $3 - $8 dollars since early 2022

Paid 6.79 for an 18 pack yesterday at the Walmart.   They would have to be triple that for me not to buy any.   I have eggs every weekend.  I don't do breakfast all week but always on the weekend as it's my favorite meal.  $6 for 18 is still .30 an egg and one of the cheapest things to eat.  But def higher than normal and eggs are in a lot of things and will drive the price up.  Can't raise chickens and get eggs for .30 each so will be buying them at the store.   I would be happy to pay that amount if the farmer saw the direct result of it.  

I bought a duck yesterday and it was $3.69 a pound so thought that was a good deal esp now with the avian flu.  I might stop and get another.  I missed too many this fall!

Yes and a decent amount of work

A lot of the people who do it go crazy with it though, almost a fanaticism. My mom and a close friend of ours fit the bill.

Corey did it and still claims it's the worst decision he ever made.   He was praying for the chickens to get eaten so he could get rid of them
