That’s $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.

Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

    Not terribly off topic, but I’ve been wondering if cage free or free range has had an affect on the spread of bird flu. Our state banned cages long ago, but we still seem hit hard.

    We have a local pultry ranch and last I heard they were hit pretty hard, but I think they are free range. I’ve also had a neighbor with a couple chickens in her backyard have to cull one. Oh, and one report of a cat dying. (It’s really bad for pets)

      The terms “cage free” and “free range” are near meaningless on an industrial scale. The chickens are still packed in as tightly as regulations allow.

      As for smaller producers, I don’t know. It sounds like bird flu is about as contagious as is possible.

        This is why I like “pasture raised” as that term has regulatory teeth behind it, at least when I researched it
