Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

I was looking around and it seems they sell 2-3 a dozen. I didn't know duck eggs are good for diabetics either! learn somethign new everyday!
Most around her are about $2.00 a dozen I have seen some for $2.50 but not more than that I was thinking when my girls start laying if we get an over abundance I would sell for $2.00 if they bring an egg cartons or $2.50 if they don't lol
 
kinda funny.....if you're rural the feed is cheep and the eggs are cheep....move surban and the feed costs go up and the cost per doz....assume the same for urban folk....
 
Or at least ya have new sales pitch

You know, I didn't even question it when she said it. I thought, hey I learned something new. Now, I just googled it and I can't find anything that supports her claim. I'm going to keep researching it but now I am starting think she does have one heck of a BS sales pitch!

I would have to agree. I am on the outskirts of a suburban town and there are LOTS of people wanting to be organic and healthier and all that stuff. It's almost like the latest fad. Whatever, I just like free range eggs because they taste better and people buy them!!! I sell enough eggs that I get to have chickens for free since the egg money buys the feed.

It's probably an old wives tale, although it might have a slight basis in fact. If you think about it the larger yolk of a duck egg may mean the eggs have more protein, which would be better for diabetics as the higher protein content would stabilize the person's blood sugar longer. I honestly have no idea if there is more protein, or cholesterol for that matter, in duck eggs.

I'm hoping that I can find enough people, once the girls are laying regularly, to cover the feed. If I can do that I'll be happy.
 
Ok, sorry to stay on this for so long but I just read 2 articles mentioning duck eggs and diabetes. They contradicted each other. One said eating 1 duck egg a day is good Nd the other said not to eat duck or duck eggs. Who knows. Now I'm just annoyed with it!
 
For PAchickenlover and anyone else...anyone have any experience with chickens eating nightshade berries? We have a lot of it throughout our ivy and hedges. I know it can kill people and other mammals but some birds eat them, so I'm not sure if they are an issue. My girls won't be free
 
Oops... Hard to type on phone screen! I was saying my pullets won't be free ranging my yard, but as the poison berries have started to ripen, maybe others are at risk?

e get our feed from a farmer down the rd makes his own $7 for 50lbs so glad we found him and they are chicken farmers lol go figure so I know they know what their doing. My "girls" their not quite ladies yet lol love the food they free range but I give them a bit in the morning when I let them out and a bit at night and I sit with them to try and get them friendly again (they where picked off 1 by 1 and became scared) they have come a long way were up to eating from hand and sometimes I can sneak a pet in there lol sorry for going off topic just so proud of my flock
