I charge $6 for large and $5 for small eggs. Non-GMO, soy-free diet isn’t cheap. But soy protein in feed transfers to the eggs. Soy based feed is much cheaper but the chicken poop produced is chock full of phosphorus and can contaminate ground water. …and I spoil my hens. Happy hens produce the most delicious eggs.

I didn’t eat many eggs before. Now I absolutely love them.

Everyone admired their shiny feathers, easy good-natured disposition, and just overall healthy appearance. Their eggs were prize winners in taste, texture, and size. I couldn’t cheapen their value by selling the eggs for a few dollars. I had enough to freely share with my neighbors. We all miss those lovely hens.

Your June 22nd Nice article about “How to find an Egg Dealer” was interesting. Especially for a Cuban reader, presently living in Cuba, A country suffering a “US Trade Embargo” plus the devastating effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. In Cuba, Eggs have become expensive and unavailable commodities in the Island. Therefore, tips about how to begin a Small Yard farm has been very useful. Thank you.

Your used to buying cheap store bought eggs… they give them the cheapest food possible. Hens are forced to stay in a small cage where they cant walk around. You should be ashamed of yourself for even supporting that type of industry… WAKE UP PEOPLE THEY ARE LYING TO US. $7 for 12 farm fresh eggs is not that bad… you should try them… store bought eggs taste nasty compared to farm fresh eggs
