Egg prices are soaring. Are backyard chickens the answer?

My family must be odd, we probably consume about 4 dozen of raw eggs per year. What is everyone else eating that requires so many eggs? Do you cook eggs daily?

Yeah man, eggs are great. My wife and I cook almost all of our meals, and we go through about two dozen a month. Have one for breakfast a few times a week, cook a quiche once or twice a month, stir one or two into fried rice, use them for battering fried foods, many baked goods call for an egg or two.

1 a day

Yep. 5 eggs a day between my wife and I. Then there are uses for food prep.

Eggs are also an ingredient in lots of things, especially baked goods.

>Do you cook eggs daily?

Yes. This is very common. Most days breakfast is sunny side eggs. Egg drop soup, ramens, and steamed egg dishes also consume a lot.

weekly shopping list is a dozen eggs and 2 roast chickens.
