LPT: it's almost springtime and you can find free eggs in the tree then.
Just poke tiny holes in them, blow out the contents and return them for a refund.
I have chickens. People refuse to pay $5 a dozen for our pasture eggs. Even though that's cheaper than any other eggs in the area. I'm also sitting on a dozen goose eggs. A goose egg is three times the size of a chicken egg. They want to pay less than three times the cost of a chicken egg, even though geese only lay during the spring and only lay every other day.
And goose eggs are also way better than chicken eggs for a lot of pastry.
This is because people assume that you should do it out of the goodness of your heart. Since you're not mass producing.
Which is absurd.
If anything they should be willing to pay you a premium for a high quality product produced in far better conditions.
no but see it's about hierarchy. the factory farm is bigger than me, and so I must serve it and obey on its terms. the local farm is just a person. I bet I could take them in a fight. therefore they should serve me and all interactions should be on my terms.
If me neighbor had eggs like that I would buy it as often as they would let me.
They want to pay less than three times the cost of a chicken egg, even though geese only lay during the spring and only lay every other day.
That's not how markets work though...
If they wanted to go buy a commercial goose egg that's how it works. Geese eggs are rare. They take a lot of investment in time to produce. If you can't recoup the costs then you can't sell as selling requires time and time is money if you believe that labor should be compensated.
No, that's not how it works. You've provided a chart that shows average prices for a specific point in time. That's it. They are constantly fluctuating, and the price is based on supply and demand.
You don't get to charge 3x for an egg just because it's 3x the size. I mean, you can try, but people will not buy it unless that's the equilibrium price. There is no rule stating that price must increase by the same amount as the size of the thing. That's silly.
A thing is worth what people are willing to pay for it. Goose eggs simply aren't as popular as chicken eggs, therefore the demand is lower. Assuming supply remains stable, that means price goes down.
How many years have you worked in the egg business?
Buddy, this is econ 100. This applies to nearly every business.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand
If you look at the chart there, the equilibrium price is where the supply line and the demand line cross. Assuming supply remains the same, if demand decreases, the equilibrium price will decrease.
If supply increases, and demand decreases, price goes way down.
Wiki probably explains it better.
Yeah, I took econ too. I'm just asking if you have any egg-bird specific experience. If you know about the details of dealing with each kind of bird and the complications that come with the different types. Anyone can econsplain. But do you have industry specific knowledge? Are you successful in this industry? Do you have actionable information that leads to success? Or if are you just repeating highschool level generalities.
There is this idea out there that people shouldn't take unsolicited advice, especially from people that don't have any experience in what you are trying to do. So I'm asking the questions to see if you are offering anything of value or are just repeating things without providing that value.
So it's not "of value," because what... It's not new and sexy to you? Sorry that supply and demand is so boring and predictable.

Maybe don’t waste your money on organic food.
Subscription payment on eggs is wild! lol
You call indebting/loan a "subscription" in US?
Random tip: Kala Namak is a condiment which tastes a lot like egg yolk. If you sprinkle it onto some cooked white beans, that's kind of like scrambled eggs (well, it is different, but also good and might satiate a craving).
Basically, Kala Namak is salt+sulphur. Egg yolk also contains sulphur, and well, sulphur is one of the minerals we should be eating anyways.
Tofu scramble is another good alternative, albeit also not exactly the same. This recipe looks like a decent starting point:

I also really like adding vegetables to my scramble, that'll make it even less like eggs though.
This is some dystopian shit right here
Chaat masala is delicious and this is one of the main ingredients, along with green mango powder (amchoor). The smell is a bit surprising at first but it's good.
Bringing up the chicken shit of people amongst an avian fowl epidemic… sounds red enough. OP never has cared about the country so much as the problem of the day to push the people apart.
But considering OP I’m not surprised this whole post isn’t dedicated to making Biden look bad. Even after the election. Their point is for you to hate everyone regardless…
Given your post history, I feel bad for this woman.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yea you’re all good. You’re doing the Lord’s work pushing BS about eggs of all things.
Eggs are expensive because of reasons but this politicalization is fine and your post is completely neutral… by all means post pics of people while ruining discourse.
