    070. Chickens and Eggs -- What's the Deal?
    Mar 28 2025

    In early 2025, we've seen egg prices skyrocket. The cause? Is it greed? Or is something more at play?

    We'll take a look at history, and a lot of science, to try and find answers that make sense. What does it all mean for the homesteader that wants to raise backyard chickens?

was like listening to a slow reader recap the highlights of a buzzfeed list. common sense listed out isn't particularly helpful, especially in a genre where listeners tend to already be in tune with common sense. if you have to tell listeners to Google something, then listening isn't going to impart much useful information. tell us where to get gamma seals or mylar bags or whether one is more useful than another for specific food items. I had to quit at 'buy tinned foods'. come on.
