I built a chicken coop, mostly as a hobby, and the eggs were a bonus. the 1,000 in materials for the structure and 25 bucks a month in food and bedding make that amortization table go out a couple of decades before you see ROI.

I joke that they are the most expensive organic eggs you can buy. ;)

Health does not have a price.

Owners of coops know how different are those organic eggs. Totally diffrent color of yolks, also they have totally different smell when they are cooked.

I also notice that the yolks are bigger in my backyard hens vs store bought eggs.

That could be a side-effect from slower winter laying though since we don't use an artificial light.
