Title: Re: [Livingontheland] Back Garden Organic Poultry

Not sure what 18 euros convert to but this statement certainly doesn’t apply to Kansas.  We figure our eggs are costing us way way more than we’re charging ($3/dozen) and are considering no longer offering eggs to our CSA and just keeping enough chickens/layers for ourselves and family.  Grain prices are out of sight.  We’re considering growing our own but are at the bottom of the learning curve so to speak on that.
