Where do you live? I live in Oakton, VA (near DC) and pay $4.79 for organic, pastured eggs at a store that sells only local products. I pay $5.00 if I buy them in the summer at my local farmers market! Linda You are lucky on your egg price. Where do you live?

I'm glad to know they are, as well as a good deal. i googled to see why my egg yolks were so orange and yummy…. i guess my local produce stand’s source is a good one, i questioned if they were really as free range and nutritous as i desired because of the $1.99 (last few months they were $1.50) a dozen of Large brown eggs.

Do yourself a favor (and a laugh!) and google "chicken tractor." Ya'll are so handy, you could surely have one whipped up in no time! Unfortunately, we live in the city and there are all sorts of ordinances against goats, chickens, even honeybees. So for now, we pay $3.90 a dozen for our pastured chicken eggs, and $5.00/doz for our pastured duck eggs. LOVE those duck eggs, with their gigantic yolks... makes the best mayo!

I had just found some but now, 2 boxes in a row, they are yellow... =( why does this have to be so hard! and they're not cheap either. i don't wanna spend almost $6 on unhealthy eggs...

I didn't know they were also better for me. Thanks for that! I know it's the grass and weeds they eat that make the yolks so yellow because they aren't as yellow in the winter when they are shut indoors. Sometimes I throw some hay down for them to scratch and peck at. It makes the yolks yellow and gives them something to do, I'm sure they must get bored closed in all winter. ;) .-= Marg´s last blog post... <a href="http://prairiesun.wordpress.com/2009/07/16/rainy-day-in-the-kitchen/" rel="nofollow">Rainy day in the kitchen</a> =-.

If they don't, oh, well. We can't convince everyone to appreciate nature! We hope to be raisins chickens very soon ourselves. Can't wait!

I have neighbors on both sides. One loves the idea of us going all Natural and Green and the other side thinks of our chickens as if they were pigeons. We keep the coop clean at all times. They get to roam around when the one neighbor isn't home. How do you get someone like that to appreciate nature. We do have the issue of our neighbors. I have neighbors on both sides.

I too waited till I had the perfect set up, then found it far easier than I thought. All they need is a simple structure you can close at night--even a dog house will work or a rabbit hutch, and let them free range during the day. At dusk, they come back to their coop on their own.
