We were buying free range chicken eggs from the people next door, until the racoons killed too many of the hens. Have not taken the time to stop at a new place for eggs yet, but there are plenty of back yard hens here so many people have signs out for eggs. If prices keep increasing we may buy chicks in the spring. Love those cute little balls of fluff! At least until they start dusting, then they lose much of their charm, lol.
