Softie!  Look at annual running costs and then work out how cheap they are!

True but egg sales pay the food bill, couldn't keep up with demand this year so may make a tiny profit next year?

Well I think 35 quid for 10 hens is a bargain  :)

I dont think any of us really makes a profit on eggs, add up the time feeding/cleaning/extra treats then the cost of feed, vet bills I suppose if you sold them at 2 quid an egg you would make a profit

I would rather have an egg I know how old it is than from any supermarket

I keep my hens for their eggs and to watch their antics  ;)
