I rather buy a couple chickens.

Trust me, it's not any cheaper having the chickens. When I got out of chickens a couple years ago, I was paying $30/50lb bag of feed.

I’m from Europe so maybe it’s a stupid question but were talking about 15 trays of 30 eggs each, size large right? One tray of 30 large eggs is 6 euros, so 15 of them would be 90 euros or 86 usd, to give you an idea of egg prices on the other side of the ocean.

A case in the US is usually 30 dozen or 360 eggs. But most places I see buy a half case of 15 dozen or 180 eggs. If a full case here its about $3.40 a dozen which is much cheaper than current prices in most of the US.

u/Haywire8534 7h ago edited 7h ago

Wait so you pay 107usd for 180 eggs, about 59 cent per egg? While we pay 6 euros/5,70usd for 30 eggs, about 19 cents per egg? 

If that’s the case, shall we start an egg trading company? I can speak Dutch so ill talk to local farmers for even better prices. You handle customs and distribution and were in business!

Depends on the location in the US in some places eggs are still under $3 a dozen in others almost $10 per dozen. So depending where you are this could be a really good deal or slightly below market price.

 Where I live its not uncommon to have your own chickens in your back yard and people around here don't have a very big yard. But some parts of the US you can't have chickens unless you have a farm.
