    $2 / dozen?

    I pay about $12 / dozen after conversion because I can’t imagine a lower price covering cost that allows any decent kind of life for the chickens.

    How, after all costs, should $2 / dozen even work outside of the most horrible conditions?

      My reference point is based on US prices for regular eggs, probably produced under those horrible conditions. I would pay more for eggs from chickens raised under better conditions, but it’s hard to tell if it’s actually the case or if it’s just marketing BS because of all the loopholes that companies can exploit to qualify while still providing poor conditions.
