Had to buy eggs from a store........

[DDRanch]

First time in over 5 years. I couldn't believe that my little flock of 13 can't muster up a couple of eggs a week. I have gotten 3 eggs in the last month. The store eggs kinda creeped me out. They are so perfect, so round, so the same size, so clean, so not speckled, so the same color, so sterile looking. I bought brown ones cuz they looked better than the white ones, but oh my, no taste, no flavor,no fun. On the plus side, no poop on them either.

Come on girls.........................

I feel your pain. I have one hen still laying a huge egg daily, the rest are on an extended hiatus. With holiday baking and all I may have to buy a dozen eggs tomorrow. I haven't bought egg from the store since last Spring.

I hate the pale yolks...much prefer the dark yellow almost orangey lovely vitamin rich yolks of MY OWN!!! I am so sorry for you two!!! I would give you both a dozen or so out of pure sisterly love if you were closer just to keep you from having to stoop to mutant eggs!!!!

I also had to buy eggs from the store-YUCK! I had to doctor them up to eat them. I found someone on craigslist to get eggs from, 30 minute drive but I had fresh eggs! What I don't understand is her 19 hens are laying 18-19 eggs a day while my 19 are laying 1 egg every 2-3 days? Jake

i recently went to a BBAHC Christmas feast. someone brought deviled eggs and i forgot that not everyone has chickens. seeing how much i LOVE eggs, i grabbed up four, got to my spot at the table and took a big bite. YECH!

they tasted like dry cardboard!


i feel your pain

it must be awful. you can at least look for free range or even organic ones, right? it's still store bought eggs but it is certainly a step up! it will be worth your money at the least!

my girls are laying like crazy, i am sending your hens the good laying vibes!
