    Lol, you can buy a full chicken for $5 (10 for $49.99) and they lay between 4-7 eggs a week, you can make an ROI between 1-2 weeks and never have to buy eggs again.

    I would strongly recommend you buy chickens if you have the ability.

          Scraps and foraging are a great addition to their diet! But to keep them laying for many years they need a feed that supplements calcium. Making egg shells will leech calcium from their bones and they’ll live short lives if they don’t have enough in their feed. I like feeding a mash of soy, corn and other vitamins.
