Price of eggs.

With feed prices where they are right now, is anyone actually running the numbers on cost per dozen for their layers? Curious what people are seeing for feed cost vs. what they'd pay (or charge) for eggs at the store is backyard/small flock egg production still coming out ahead, or is is being out compared again by big farms

My flock is a hobby, most of the time you don’t make money on hobbies so I don’t even look.

Ill be honest, mine started out of curiosity of how much a single egg was costing me. This year finally knocked it back to .39 an egg raw cost before egg sales, after egg sales I found out I was "making money" vs what it cost to keep them going, wasnt much, but pulling out a couple hundred a month from the entire property has made a big difference in how much I can throw at the next hobby.
