[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 625325, member: 3306"] Yes, as much as I love having my own eggs, it is an expensive proposition. I got rid of a lot of my chickens and turned loose a bunch, so I am not spending nearly the amount of feed I was. I throw scratch every day and keep two feeders loaded, as opposed to the 5 I once had. The chickens can get inside the coup but the donkeys cant. They will destroy a chicken coup. I have started finding eggs in the hay barn and gathering them up. Last year I had so many eggs I was gathering them in a bucket every day and selling them at work for three dollars a dozen, and folks bought them. Farm fresh eggs. I had range eggs and coup eggs. Folks couldn't get enough at work. I have always given eggs away to family, friends, whoever shows up at the house always walks away with a dozen. I have given eggs to our tow truck driver, (we have a thing about clunkers and he knows us by name. I think he knows my voice on the phone by now.) our mechanic (same thing), and the locksmith. When I turned the chickens loose and got rid of about a dozen of them, I stopped getting eggs for a while and had to buy my first carton of eggs in nearly ten years. It felt strange. I am glad to be getting my own eggs again. [/QUOTE]
