I couldn't agree with you more!
I have found the same thing here! Everyone has a neighbor that has chickens. They balk at the $3 or $4 on the really good fresh yard eggs. What is worst, the farm fresh folk way under price their eggs because they have to to sell the. That starts a domino effect making it impossible for us all to sell a fresh eggs for a fair price! There are even folks here that are actually scared to buy yard eggs...like they will make them sick or something! I'm just going to reduce the size of my flock next spring and produce eggs for my immediate family and close circle and not have to fight to sell eggs.
