Brilliant!
Back in the day, when not everyone had chickens at home, I used to sell the Araucana pretty-colored eggs to a local deli/liquor store. I packaged then in clear containers with a fancy raffia bow and ‘cage-free’ ‘organic’ labeling.
They gave me $2.50 a dozen and then sold them for $5/dozen and people screamed for more!
I am really looking forward to the baby chicks for sale at Farm & Fleet this spring. It’s way past time for us to have laying hens, again. :)
I eat 18 a week. Hubby buys the egg whites in cartons which stink when he cooks them.
Paper products have slowly been increasing, and last week the price was astounding!
Doubtful if things will improve ... but who knows?
Avian influenza (AI) is caused by an influenza type A virus which can infect poultry (such as chickens, turkeys, pheasants, quail, domestic ducks, geese, and guinea fowl) and is carried by free flying waterfowl such as ducks, geese and shorebirds.
