Reply to comment by notmyrealname17 in What the hell is going on with Egg Prices...... by bostonmacosx

Where are you buying feed? When we started probably 4 years ago or so a 50lb bag of feed from Tractor Supply was like $12 now its closer to $20. Oh and on top of that I have 2 chickens that eat eggs. So I am lucky to get 1 egg a day out of 9 chickens. Once it gets a little colder it will be 0 until Spring.

Oof sorry to hear about all of that, we started in spring 2021 and feed has gone from 16-18 in that span, which compared to other inflation I've seen isn't too bad. We always buy it at a local place nearby called Westfield feed, if you're in the area there's also one called Easthampton feed owned by the same folks. Luckily we haven't had any issues with them eating their eggs and we're still getting at least 3 a day out of 5 birds although that will go down to 2-1 in the dead of the winter.
