Why a backyard chicken isn't the answer to saving money on eggs

Record-high egg prices have more consumers considering backyard chickens, but farm rescues say they are expensive and hard to care for.

The article from MSN discusses the financial and practical considerations of raising backyard chickens as a response to the rising cost of eggs. It highlights that while the idea of producing your own eggs might seem cost-effective, the reality involves significant initial and ongoing expenses. These include the cost of purchasing chickens, building or buying a coop, feeding the chickens, and dealing with health issues or predators. The article points out that chickens lay eggs most productively for only the first couple of years, after which egg production decreases, and the costs of maintenance do not. Additionally, it notes that the price of eggs would need to remain extraordinarily high for an extended period for backyard chickens to become a financially viable option for saving money. The piece concludes that for most people, the novelty and educational value of having chickens might outweigh the economic benefits, suggesting that other methods like buying in bulk or choosing store brands might be more practical for saving on egg costs.
