Why not user? For a very low cost, you can get a good bunch of chickens, a chicken coop. give them a bit of space and some feed, clean their pen out every once in a while, and you'll have eggs every day, and meat if they stop producing eggs.
I get 11 eggs a day for basically nothing, why not try it out? cost me less than £200
Buying eggs from the shop

Eli Hughes
same here. I also have ducks, just to compare the differences between duck eggs and chicken eggs. And, of course, free fried chicken if you mix in some roosters
Lucas Martinez
ducks are nice but they smell worse and are less sociable than chickens. i have a few as well but don't like duck eggs though.

My parents raise chickens. It's expensive compared to buying eggs and it's a lot of work. Where I live, you can buy 18 large eggs for $1.28. This is hardly an expense which needs evaluation.
Grayson Peterson
it's not any work at all, I don't know what they're doing wrong. and shop bought eggs are fed with soy and disgusting shit, my chickens eggs are nice and orange and lovely and taste better than shop bought chicken eggs.

You realize you can buy like 60 eggs in the US for maybe $3, right? You'd have to eat like 4000 eggs to get close. Math doesn't work unless you're fucking Gaston...but even then you only get 11 eggs a day, not enough trying to get large
Jackson Green
coward urbanite
modern farmed eggs are shit. see the difference
Cameron Watson
Why not also raise some cows for you daily gallon of milk / producing your own protein? Also while you are at it you should build a small foundry in your garden right between your chicken coop and the cow shed, so you can build your own equipment.
Mason Howard
>little Mexican counts creep over from their section 8 housing half a mile away and steal them
And that's why I no longer have chickens
Dominic Russell
Cunts not counts ffs
Gavin Baker
Jokes on you op, I have 39 chickens.

Neighbors have nasty fucking cats that attack local birds and small dogs, til I catch those fuckers with a shovel i'm not having small animals outdoors
Jeremiah Barnes
>60 eggs for $3 in USA
Not even at Walmart. Those mega-packs are like $8 and the eggs are shit.
Asher Evans
can you elaborate ? theres a difference in egg quality ? isnt large just large everywhere. In the end they all have about 6g of protein per egg right ?
Brody Jones
are you stupid?
why should a 40g egg contain as much protein as a 80g egg?
Jace Parker
maybe taste and stuff like that.
Parker Lewis
Buy some free range eggs, then some Walmart eggs, crack one of each into clear glasses, then compare the color. You'll be surprised. Taste is different too.
Mason Anderson
Maybe I'm living in a flat and can't afford space for some chickens?

Just not worth it unless you enjoy doing it as a hobby like my parents do. Raising chickens just for eggs to eat is retarded since they're so cheap.
Carson Evans
You're retarded and your moms cheap.

Because I live in a cool American city not some hillbilly English village or whatever.

>i buy from local farmers desu.
2 eggs cost same as 3 store eggs but they taste way different from storeshit, dont get me started on possible health difference.
Alexander Bailey
You don't know about parasites and infections, do you? Do you wash your hands after you shit?
I said I'd be concerned, not that I wouldn't do it, you mook. Just consult with a vet, maybe have one come over for periodic check ups.

except i hardly ever have to do that. you must be pretty stupid then. i kill prey animals once in a while but that's for fur, never ever had a fox in my coop.
stfu urbanite scum
>muh parasites
>muh infections
Urbanite pussy.
I don't wash my hands after I shit, and I have an amazing immune system because of it.
I drink water out of streams and i'm fine, dysentry only happens to civilised urbanites who try to live in nature.

Imagine the little change in the shade of black as the pants bend from her giant data
Evan Morris
you can change the colour of eggs by adding orange foods like carrots (not oranges). It's not necessarily a sign of health
Isaac Green
Because unless you’re a neet, time is money, and when you look at the time invested:money saved, I’m not going to save anything doing it.
I could buy the most premium organic eggs from the most pampered chickens on earth, from someone who does it for a living and it would still be more cost effective than doing it myself.
Justin Sanchez
Last time I ate duck eggs it went terribly. Ended up tossing my cookies on the third fairway. Still finished the 9, though.
Josiah Ross
I'm currently a student but once I settle down imma get a Silkie and maybe some rescue hens.
Hunter King
IIRC the only time the egg ISN'T orange is when the chicken is fed a very limited grain only diet. The yolks being orange indicates that it doesn't have a one-dimensional diet, and generally that means better nutrient profiles.
could be talking out my ass though

Urban chickens is actually getting more popular these days
