My name is Dianne, and I am a store bought egg buyer.

Hi Dianne!​

i also had to buy some of THOSE eggs yesterday. i was starting some pound cake and had my three store bought eggs on the counter in a bowl to come to room temp. my 6 year old walked by and said where did you get THOSE from....he said, they are the wrong color....too funny

I had to do it for Thanksgiving.. told the family they would have to eat cereal for breakfast for a few days so I wouldn't have to buy any for Christmas baking.. right now, I just have 4 laying hens, average 3 a day.. with one pullet laying TINY eggs every 3 or four days.. I think that one could work for gravy..

I have seven pullets that should come into maturity soon.. not to mention all the chicks I am hatching out starting late summer. 2011 looks promising in the egg production department.

Yes, I spend extra $ and purchase the cage-free eggs. If I knew someone locally who hac eggs, I would pay 2x the cost of the store eggs.. I JUST hate them.. Even my adult children have become spoiled and started looking for local people w/ egg signs...

I had to do the same thing for Thanksgiving. Even spent extra money for "free range organic." I was making a pie with some when the wife happened to come into the kitchen as I was cracking the eggs into the bowl. She asked, "Those aren't OUR eggs are they?" Nope, she could tell just by looking.

The sad thing about it was that I had twelve dozen eggs in the refrigerator! But my mom and aunt were coming and I always send eggs home with them and I had my store account to deliver to the next day so had none to spare to cook with.

And in spite of having twenty five 7 and 8 month old pullets out there to backstop the older birds it looks like Christmas is going to be much the same.

we go through eggs so fast this time of year, we had to bye a dozen today, too....i DON'T plan on being the one to eat them, though...

Yes. I spend whatever it costs to get free range, vegetarian fed, preferably organic (if available) eggs. I'll spend even more if they are local.

The ones I bought this week are antibiotic & hormone free but don't say organic. They were $2.75 a dozen, which is actually CHEAPER than the Eggland eggs they were next to. (I'd have bought the local eggs, anyway.)

That's sick! SO sorry to hear about this tragedy.

My mom had to buy more store-bought eggs for Christmas also...and we have loads of birds. Lol. They're just not laying!!! It's too darn cold.
