100% agree. I have a flock of my own (smaller than yours) and the amount of work and money that goes in to getting our own eggs is surprising. I joke all the time they are still several thousand eggs shy of breaking even. But damn do they produce! And the eggs are truly miles ahead of store-bought. And do you think those little shits appreciate me? Nope. I have to wear full boots to my knees to stop them from drawing blood...because it's fun for them to peck at everything.
