More crime will be egg prices down too!



It’s true, we should have light chicken density instead of putting them all in one place. If all of your neighbors had a few chickens it would be a lot better than keeping them on a farm with the economies of scale, specialty equipment, feed storage, and transportation. I’m sure that they will just ride the bus.


I don't see a problem with backyard chickens as long as you don't allow roosters. The smell isn't too bad in most cases. The biggest problem is that the local foxes and raccoons will be very excited by this development. When I was younger, we raised chickens on the family farm. My job was to open and close the henhouse and collect the eggs. The rooster did not like my daily theft.


I mean the whole "let's have everyone farm chickens instead of having large farms" idea doesn't work. Economies of scale matter.

Someone did actually try this once in the Great Leap Forward. It resulted in famine.


No one said to close the big farms. It's not wrong to have two kinds of production and allowing people to choose. I suppose that's wrong in the minds of rigid thinkers. You might be one of those.


I mean if you think having a back yard coop is a cheap easy way to get eggs, you're an idiot.

What is the point of these blatant lies. Most of us know price of eggs. Who is this targeting?

Yes let's expand less regulated ownership of chickens. That will stop the bird flu!

Geez drive to a different store. ALL the eggs in PWC, Loudoun and FFX have them for about 4-6.


$4 for store-brand, large, white eggs, is a lot.

I couldn't find eggs for under $6 at the Giant this week. But the solution is not to allow chickens in urban/suburban areas. The solution is finding alternatives to eggs.
