TY. I want to give hope to people with ideas like that.

As far as eggs go I always try to encourage people to raise chickens if they are living where they can.

It is a food we can control the amount of nutrition we are receiving and the crap we aren't like most store bought eggs.

Don't know if it was because my grandparents after raising cattle for many years then raised chickens but as a kid I'd go to their farm and they had huge barn for hundreds of chickens and fenced pasture for them to eat real food.

Been raising them now 30 years love real eggs.

Eggs are so good for you overall but one thing they have which our body doesn't get enough of is omega 3. Omega 6 we get plenty in all kinds of food but omega 3 we need eggs and fish are two of the main foods I eat to get that.

I'm on a homesteading board and seeing a terribile trend.

Because people lose chickens now and then which is a NATURAL happening when you raise them people are now building these small area's cause it cost lots of money to be predator proof where the chickens can't get to natural food to eat thus their eggs like majority of store bought eggs are lacking in nutrients.

Instead of realizing this is how it's always been people are to scared to protect their flock.

I've been blessed only lose chicken every 4 years about as all of us owners around here get rid of the predators and it takes about 2 to 4 years before another one moves into the area before being eliminated.

The others are eating eggs they might as well buy at the store. Sad.
