As a reminder to those who have never raised layers before, especially those in suburbs, layers generally start really slowing egg production around the five year mark. So if your seriously just getting them for eggs and being more "cost effective", your going to want to butcher them after a few years.

Why the fuck is no one just cutting eggs out of their diet?
It's not even like they're particularly healthy, if you eat too many you can risk high cholesterol.
Unless you have really strict dietary guidelines this is fucking insanity.
All you have to do is stop buying them and demand will dry up and prices will come back down (to an extent anyway, bird flu is gonna keep it higher than the old norm).
Are people really so egg addicted?? Do people really not understand economics and the nature of supply/demand?
You can ask that very question about fast food. Something that's incredibly unhealthy, but people are fighting hard for cheap rates.
