we live in the country with few neighbors and yes i have one thats a pain in my rear and thats my hubs uncle he says its a waste of money i said oh ok you dont want free eggs then. He changed his demeanor then. I explained yes we know they produce eggs but we also know its a low income community we live in and we have many eager neighbors that will happily take the eggs from us. Just wait till we put eggs in the bator in the spring and we have crowing members for meat birds and turkeys gobbling. We have a young family near us and the hub asked my hub if he helps out with butchering if he can take some for his family and we readily agreed.
