Eggs should cost much, much more than that.
The hens are not living in humane conditions.
The extent of under-regulation in our private sector makes us a highly immoral nation at our core.

And...you cannot compare the quality/flavor of a fresh egg to one from a supermarket.
I don't eat eggs anymore, but many years ago I raised layers and meat birds.
Good food. When I left the mountains it took years for me to be able to eat store bought eggs/chicken.
It's about to get even more expensive here in CO as the governor who acted all sane before the election almost immediately signed a law requiring all eggs to be free range eggs just after he was reelected. That wasn't the craziest law he signed but one that definitely points to it... LOL
12 eggs are $4.46 at Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Va...vBR_YAwlpJIJteoutqRoCCZkQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
You're fucking lying.

I seem to remember needing a hammer to crack the goose eggs. The yolk on a fresh egg sits up firmly in the pan, and doesn't break as easily as an older store bought egg.They're definitely richer and darker. I supplemented their feed as needed. It didn't take much. I tried an autofeeder to limited success.
I also had a goose for about a decade before losing it to a combination of goose dementia and a coyote. She only laid in Spring but the eggs were huge and super-rich. She'd lay 1 every day or two. Never developing a taste for them except occasionally, they ended up with Moms in my gym classes for Easter egg hunts, pre-hard-boiled.
So Biden is responsible for avian flu? Gosh Joe, knock it off, already![]()
Just don't get any roosters. The neighbors will kill youIt's time for everybody to get their own chickens.
Maybe at your walmart but not mine
I went to a different wally today and it also prices them at $5.92.
The price on the website is universal, so you fucking lied because you're a lying sack of shit.
It's not free range - it's cage free. They can still be housed in buildings but there has to be on average one square foot of floor space for each hen.
Sounds like a good law and not that big a deal. I don't see how it can cause this explosion in egg prices.
You moron. You obviously don't go to walmart. Things like eggs and milk and produce vary from store to store. The two walmarts i've checked in the last week were $5.92. Other walmarts may charge less.
The article I saw said the CO law mandates cage free eggs.
That's not the same as free range eggs. I have a choice between buying cage free or free range, and I always buy free range.
Any society that is willing to overlook extreme physical abuse and torture of domestic farm animals is a society seriously in need of moral self reflection.
I’m guessing he’ll relent on that until the Avian Flu problem passes….or he’ll face the wrath of voters.
OTOH, chickens lay an egg a day. Three chickens would provide my wife and I all the eggs we need. They also eat bugs around the yard so that’s a twofer. I used to have four chickens but lost them to some dogs and, since eggs were cheap, didn’t replace them. I may have to reconsider by Spring.
