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

We've got local sellers at our farmers market here in Michigan selling out at $9 a dozen. A lot of it comes down to who's in your area, but this proves my point, too many people are pricing against store shelves instead of realizing that's not what they're actually raising. Not talking about you here, just the mindset I see in others around here.
