$1.79 for 18 large here in upstate NY... peewees 49¢/doz. I buy the
peewees anytime they're 49¢/doz or less... sometimes they're 39¢/doz.
There are several huge egg farms in the northern Catskills... and I'd
say about 1/3 of the people who live here raise chickens for eggs... a
new family just bought a house down the road and I already saw that
they have a chicken cook, there were two chickens on their front
steps. Somehow chickens know to stay out of the road... all those
jokes about why do chicken cross the road are nonsense, chickens don't
cross roads... my neighor directly across the road raises chickens,
they walk all over his front yard right up to the road on his side but
I've never seen any cross over to this side. Now I can't say the same
about dumb guinea hens, they are run over all the time.
