    I think you have been misinformed. As an American, I can harvest eggs just like the pictured ones from my own backyard on a regular basis.

    They don’t even cost any money, they come out of chicken asses for free.

      You must have weird chickens. My lay eggs out if their cloaca.

          Their colon is. The coloaca is their asshole, and pee hole, and egg hole.

      What a noob. Ours come from shops. That way, our entire fuckin garden doesn’t smell like a crashed ammonia tanker

        As a side note, if your chicken coop smells like a crashed ammonia tanker you need to add more carbon in the coop. Dead leaves, cardboard, shredded wood or wood chips are working well.

        Sorry your yard is so small. Mine is large enough that the chicken coop is far away from the house and is usually not a bother. Summertime when the wind is just wrong can be an annoying stench, but it’s almost nothing compared to the smell of dumpsters in a big city during summer heat.

          We call our yards “metres” and they’re a little bit bigger than yours

                You have no idea how big I can live. What if I told you that I knew a guy who can turn you into a walrus?

                  I’d say pass whatever you’ve got, I’ll take a snort.

      Let’s not pretend the acquisition and upkeep of chickens is free… if you eat a lot of eggs it is absolutely worth it, but there is some cost in setting up a coop, getting chickens, keeping chickens fed and safe from predators, disease, etc.

      Plus you have to have property to keep them on and be allowed to have them on your property. For most Americans that isn’t possible due to lack of home ownership or HOA restrictions on what animals you can have on “your” property. (HOAs are bullshit)
