And yes, agreed: it's a form of griefing, a bit different perhaps from others who insist that you play along with whatever RP they are engaged in. I don't think this was the case here, though. I think she was probably just a bit clueless. /me "giggles" 🤢 I have this happen at the beach a lot.. I can be trying to take pictures or just sorting inventory, then close a window or turn my camera and notice, I'm in the middle of a dancing snake pit.. I don't mind it really, as long as they don't bump into me and wreck my shot.. A nice thing that happened today though was, one of the guys that run the beach gave me rez rights so that I can take more pictures there.. He said something about putting one of the pictures from my profile on their wall.. then said I could take pictures there and send more.. That was a good start to the day.. it makes me want to take more and better ones.. I got side tracked again! probably because the house is empty and I'm enjoying the alone time.. hehehe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are high here.. I see like 20.00 for a 60 pack. That's the white thin shell eggs too.. I love our eggs..They are always brown or dark brown and thick shelled..the yolks stand up where bleh white thin shelled eggs just go thin and flat in the yolk.. A lot say there isn't a difference between the brown and white eggs, but I never seen white eggs that are better than brown ones yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of times if people are doing it for eggs for themselves and you know them , most end up giving eggs away.. It's really easy to get backed up with eggs.. Even with a small amount of hens.. You get an egg a day from each one.. it doesn't seem like a lot until you realize how much you were not eating eggs before and have to start eating more of them now.. hehehe My sister overbought hens and she couldn't give them away fast enough.. If someone loves eggs, hens are the gift that keeps on giving, like cows and milk.. the milking has to be done no matter how good or bad you feel, the cows are gonna show up every day..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to NPR this morning and some poultry farmer was saying that his costs for food, veterinary services, electricity, and packaging had risen by more than 50% this year. That's not chicken feed. (Well, it is, but ..) If I had a neighbor with hens, I'd offer a fair price for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istelathis Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Eggs are outrageously expensive right now 😢 From my understanding in the US, there is a massive pandemic destroying a lot of our egg laying chicken at an alarming rate and it has been ongoing for months. I have read it could be months before we recuperate from the pandemic and start seeing the price of eggs dropping. Due to inflation, it is unlikely we will ever see them as inexpensive as they used to be, but the prices we see now are not likely to remain this high forever. I've looked into raising chicken in the past out of curiosity and at the time it was more expensive, it is also something I would not really want to get involved with because it looks like a lot of work involved. I wonder for those who do have their own chicken if the expense has levelled out for them with the cost of eggs as high as they are. Where I live the cost of pasture raised / cage free eggs has recently been surpassed by most of the other eggs. I wonder if the spread of the virus is less prolific in such conditions, and the expense of the eggs are reflecting that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, a lot set out to sell eggs, which right now they might do well.. but in regular times unless you have regulars, you can get backed up real easy.. It is nice to offer for sure.. it's nice to know the people, because those are the ones that usually get asked if they need eggs.. hehehe I have people that want to pay me for the eggs I give them, but I'm just glad to have them not go to waste, plus the room.. hehehe Edited January 21, 2023 by Ceka Cianci 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some states, such as California, require eggs to be from cage free chickens. 4 million of those have been lost to the Avian flu. 57 million chickens overall. Since chickens don't take long to mature to egg laying stage, hopefully things will improve this year. 🐣🐔🍳 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceka Cianci Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I just looked up a good video on the what goes on in the bigger laying farms.. these guys have a really nice setup.. it makes a lot of sense what they are saying when they compare cage free to caged..I guess they do both because some want cage free and some want caged.. Cage free can be a heck of a lot messier and more unhealthy.. That dust is seriously nasty.. Edited January 21, 2023 by Ceka Cianci 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No poopy eggs! Interesting! When I first ran across the cloaca info (sorry, I had edited out the "a-word" but you quoted me before the edit) - it was in a chicken breeder's classic textbook which I had given my stepmother, who was raising chickens. Anyway, I didn't know they only had one orifice and the book enlightened me on that point. (The book didn't point out the bit you did.) Sometimes you learn the strangest things from books! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact, the eggs are protected by a waxy substance which is added in the last 90 minutes or so before laying; the 'egg bloom' fills the porous structure of the shell which inhibits gaseous exchanges. Washing eggs can damage or destroy this layer, which makes the eggs spoil at an accelerated rate. Unwashed eggs are good for about two weeks kept at room temperature and three months if refrigerated. Washed eggs should always be stored refrigerated and generally last for about two months. As for cloaca, they're not unique to chickens - all birds, reptiles, amphibians, and even certain mammals (including certain species of moles) have them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
