I have a friend who had 70+ hens. He and his wife started w/ a small flock and everyone wanted "fresh, farm grown eggs'. So, they got more hens to keep up with the demand. Each time the demand grew so did his flock.. They were giving away most of their eggs to family and friends! So, last night I asked how their hens were doing and he said "got rid of all but 5 hens and a Roo!" I couldn't beleive it....He said that he was getting between 60 and 70eggs a day. Two yrs. ago, he had family and friends that were at his house everyday asking for eggs (which he gladly shared at no cost) and for the last 5 months these same people have started calling him and asking him to drop off their eggs! FREE EGGS and DELIVERY????? So, He ran the #'s and said he was spending 50+$ on feed AND 23+$ worth of gas to DELIVER eggs for free
, every week! So he gave away all his hens expect the 5 and the one roo!!!! I can't believe the nerve of some people!!! Dixie
