With steadily increasing egg prices, people who own chickens say it’s an alternative worth exploring.
– The price of eggs are a topic of conversation for many families who are scrambling for ways to save money while still putting the popular protein-packed food item on the table., people who own chickens say it’s an alternative worth exploring.
“The benefits of having your own chickens are not only you’re saving money, but the eggs that you’re going to be consuming is a lot better,” said Dusty Jeter, an egg farmer.“First, you have to start with a chicken coop. You don’t have to go to the extreme, but you can buy a small chicken coop.
“Six chickens, you’re going to get six eggs today. That’s half a dozen over a seven-day period, approximately 42 eggs. So that’s a big savings of a store,” he said.“Throughout the whole year, prices have been going up. It seems like, you know, one month we see a price increase, a few weeks later we see another price increase,” said Timothy Luna, Locke Hill Feed Pet and Lawn Supply manager.
Hunt said chicks are about $5 each and it takes them about five-months to start laying eggs. A slow process but all worthwhile, she adds.Related Stories:
