Am American living in the city with 8 chickens. The only scary thing is seeing eggs in the market go for $10/dozen

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 31 points 9 months ago

I'd love to see this city that only has 8 chickens in it

[-] Detheroth@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 9 months ago

I don't know what you're doing, but the way you can turn a phrase around is remarkable. You've gotten a few chuckles outta me this morning.

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I love you too 😊

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

10$/dozen? Where?

[-] Womdat10@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Only 10? They're $13 where i live

[-] pressanykeynow@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 9 months ago

And here I thought $2 was a bit too much.

[-] Vash63@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Wow, that's crazy. It's €4.49/10 here tax included for the fancy free range, low volume farm ones from a not-cheap supermarket.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

3.2USD here for a dozen cage-free brown eggs!

My folks’ chickens’ eggs have orange-r yolks tho.

[-] MaoZedongers@lemmy.today 2 points 9 months ago

Huh, they're like $2.19 a dozen for me.

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Farm fresh eggs here in Amish country go for $2/doz.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

Miss living near the Amish. They have these cute big families with so many children and agricultural stuff for low prices. I would love to convince them to somehow some way homestead in my city.

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Funny, as someone who works intimately with them I find myself distrusting them. They are great at putting on the "old timey, super genuine sweet Christian folk" persona but don't get it wrong. Their ideology spreads like a cancer around here. They breed like crazy, buy up all the private land, displace other locals with their farms, eschew environmentally friendly agricultural practice to save money, their buggies destroy the roads and cause terrible fatal accidents. It's not to say they're all bad but they're absolutely a highly insular cult and they have no problem turning on outsiders to further their society.

buggies destroy the roads

How? I'd always heard that heavier vehicles do more damage to roads, so I'd expect buggies to be on par with bicycles or maybe motorcycles.

cause fatal accidents

I'm curious about this one, too. Do they tend to drive erratically? I'd think their slower top speeds would make it easier to avoid accidents.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

displace other locals with their farms, es

Meh I am not sure how people stuck on old tech are so much better at farming that they can outcompete modern farms. How bad at your job can you be to have your ass handed to you by the 17th century?

Kinda getting tired of the whole "my life sucks because I am lazy let me get angry at people who are actually successful". Tall poppy syndrome is running rampant, especially in rural America. You can thank me for paying for your roads btw.
