    Literally have had little old people spending tons of gas money driving all over town looking for eggs when you couldn’t find them. It was bonkers. Nobody needs eggs that badly, but they were willing to waste half the day just to get some at all, not even cheap.

    Indeed, just bending over and taking it. Even lubing themselves up first, with this kind of behavior. Like the entire economy is a fucking Findom and all the consumers are Finsubs throwing their money at the Findom.

      As someone who doesn’t like eggs, I’m baffled. I’ve never purchased an egg in my life. There are many delicious things to eat without them. If they’re so unreasonably expensive, it shouldn’t be hard for the average person to just do without them.

        I just need a handful to make some brownies. You can’t really bake without eggs, so lots of business use them as a core ingredient. im sure you consume them somewhere.

          Yes, I eat cakes and stuff containing eggs but I’d do without them if they became really expensive. I can understand bakeries requiring eggs but normal everyday people don’t need them. You don’t need to bake, you want to bake

            Oh i’ve had many a delicious vegan treats. But i’m not a vegan. I’ve raised chickens before for eggs and meat. It’s looking like I will have to do it again this year! Like I told the other guy. The need for brownies is real. Poor people deserve fair access to brownies.

              Real quick aside if ya can get a turkey hen and have the land for one or two they produce slightly bigger eggs than an americana hen. Also they may be easier to get since dumb yuppies in my area are going after chickens but not the quail or turkeys, only problem is it takes a bit longer for a turkey hen to start producing.

                I do not. I would just check online, there are plenty of companies that will ship fertilized eggs.Incubators are easy to use. I wish you luck on your hunt and hope you get a nice chicken friend.

                  We usually also get fertilized eggs when we can, just a bit easier to get the chicks when I’m at the feed store. Anyways our hens and turkey are doing rather well, their pen turning into a mud pit from recent rain aside. They have a sheltered area that’s dry it’s just that about 30 percent of the open area is mud.
