Backyard Chickens Are Not the Answer to High Egg Prices
If you have questions about this resource, contact your county Extension office.
Summary
The USDA recently predicted that egg prices will increase 41.1 percent in 2025, double the previous projection from January 2025. This is disheartening news with Easter on the horizon (a time when egg prices always tend to spike) but, to anyone considering getting backyard chickens to offset the high cost of eggs these days, take heed, backyard chickens are NOT the answer!
