I hate most plant based vegan replacements but the Just Eggs are actually pretty good.

Laid it out for you.

Lol, you can buy a full chicken for $5 (10 for $49.99) and they lay between 4-7 eggs a week, you can make an ROI between 1-2 weeks and never have to buy eggs again.
I would strongly recommend you buy chickens if you have the ability.
Unfortunately good feed is more expensive than the chicken.

Yeah, keeping them alive and healthy is the expensive part.

Five years ago it was toilet paper.

To be fair, lots of animals like to kill chickens. I've lost dozens to predators. And I'm committed to free range, I don't want to keep chickens locked in a small coop/run all the time. I still lock them up at night and they appreciate that. I actually have zero at the moment, waiting for spring to start over after some dogs jumped over my fence and killed all of mine. I still get free eggs from my sister though. Oh, and you can't suggest chicken ownership without disclosing all of the chicken shit. It's almost mountains of chicken shit.

Call it Guano and sell it as fertiliser.

Also testing for diseases. They could catch the bird flu and you might not know it right away and you end up catching it from them. I'll let the farms deal with testing.

Nice try, Purdue.

It's also how Bond originally killed Dr No
Bond kills No by taking over the guano-loading machine at the docks and diverting the flow of guano to bury him alive.

Purely due to circumstance, the price of eggs became an easy, overly simplified economic indicator, and via massive amounts of misinformation/disinformation, somehow an indicator of the Biden administration's efficacy. Eggs were essentially the stand-in for all the complicated and politically inconvenient stuff that willfully ignorant folks don't understand, prefer not to think about, or simply want to deny.
Willfully ignorant people know that grocery prices in general were being affected by inflation, but understanding the causes and recognizing that it was a global phenomenon was not something they were willing to engage in because it was an easy way to demonize and blame Biden.
In my personal experience, when prices spiked last time, these were the people who claimed that eggs were the bulk of their diet because it was the only protein they could afford to eat anymore. That was never true for most, but that's what they claimed as they lamented how they could no longer afford to eat. They also liked to mention the prices of the highest price tier eggs (name brand, organic, fancy stuff, free range, etc) and try to pass that off as the going rate for eggs, despite the fact that they never bought those "premium" eggs prior to the price hike and that the "cheaper" eggs cost significantly less. Also, now that it's happening under their preferred presidential administration, suddenly they are much less vocal (almost completely silent) about the price of eggs. But if forced into a discussion about the topic, they suddenly appear to understand and advocate for the idea that it's caused by factors outside of the president's control. Funny how that works, huh?
On the flip side, most of the folks who are currently bringing up the egg prices are doing so in a satirical sense (even if it's covertly satirical), fully aware that Trump isn't in control of the egg prices. It's just a good way to further demonstrate his supporters' own hypocrisy. Also, it's sort of giving the willfully ignorant people a taste of their own medicine. Probably not terrible effective from that standpoint, but cathartic for the people currently doling it out.

As an apart, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say the jokes are out of line.
I don't get how the people believed into all the fuzz in the presidential campaign. (Though yes, I seem to have underestimated how much they are actually costing there.)
The jokes, I get. And you should keep pushing the subject.

That's essentially what I have been doing. You'd be surprised how many predators still roam the suburbs though. I have lost chickens to raccoons, opossums, hawks, dogs and foxes.
My only real suggestion is check your zoning. I was operating in a kind of grey area but I have known people who had to get rid of their chickens to avoid daily fines. Getting well set up for chickens is a bit of work, I wouldn't want to do that in vain.

I'm American. I just bought 12 eggs for $5. What's this going on about?
$5 is pretty high for me. Even Dollar General is $4, and that's for lazy shopping. Aldi is still $3 I think?

We get eggs by the dozen, or half dozen. I've never seen a ten pack.
