Eggs

Hope you are keeping your own chickens mate.

Also hope you have a wild source of protein just in case. Good traps can bring in a huge amount, and fishing is the other way.

We buy eggs from the farmer down the street from us.
Free range chickens - they look quite healthy; in the cool weather the chickens are out in the field.
We bring our own egg containers and exchange it for one filled with eggs.
They are not too cheap... the Amish are a shrewd business people.

And they're growing tomatoes in their greenhouses already.
They had the biggest, reddest tomatoes in their garden stand in early March last year.
There are 4 football length greenhouses along the path of my walk.
I'm not sure what the Amish rulebook allows but there are grow-lites and heaters running.

How much do they charge?

Our free-range flock of 8 hens and 1 rooster is very healthy and hardy, we've been getting 4-6 eggs daily through all this cold winter weather.

Amish are very smart. They use thermal mass for maintaining temperature as well, it’s free heating really.
The other thing is the heat off composting material, water pipes running through hot compost piles.

Honestly, I've NEVER never had to buy eggs!
They just magically appear in the fridge! It's totally amazing!!!

((My wife does the shopping. She says the Amish eggs are cheaper but still pricey.))

The Amish live by their own rules, I've given up trying to figure out their rules.
Many of the them have large propane tanks near their house.

The Amish shovel snow from our communities streets and driveways with front loaders,
I've been told that as long as they don't own the vehicle, it's okay for them to use it.

They still use horses and buggies for traveling
...and they use horses (or mules) to plow the fields but behind them, they are dragging a variety powered equipment.

Dr. Eric Berg:

"Egg prices are NOT an accident Bird flu is back in the headlines.

But what’s actually happening?

Here’s the simplest way to understand it:

They’re using the COVID playbook again.

This time, it’s about controlling your food.

Let me explain."

Bastards….well I raise my own and free range them. If their fed crumble grain they produce more eggs. And I’m buying some more chicks from a chicken breeder to replenish the damn hawk that keeps killing them. The eggs my girls provide are deep golden and plump with tuns of protein

I set up heat lamps for them in the hen house for them to roost under. All the ice has melted so it’s muddy but they manage to eat grass and Grubbs. Also feed them alfalfa and give them green beans and corn.

Daughter told me free range eggs here are going as high as $10 per dozen, but regular white eggs are more reasonably priced at Walmart.

Just keep pumping the foreign junk into your body through needle or otherwise, that is what it is about.

A couple of months ago I bought a 18 egg carton (actually two and two pounds of bacon). The eggs cost more thzn the bacon (about $9 each carton of 18). Today I bought a 18 egg carton and it was $4. Maybe they are going down for good.

Well they are laying more now that it’s getting warmer and the heat lamp serve to heat them and calm them…perhaps they recall when they were hatchlings and I used the lamps to warm them. Anyways it works. They also go into my veggie garden and dig up worms & Grubbs …they are a good source of protein.
