Amidst soaring egg prices due to a combination of inflation and avian flu that has killed millions of egg-laying chickens, Staten Island firefighter Tommy Lane decided to build a chicken coop in his backyard. This initiative not only provides fresh eggs daily but also saves the family around $120 monthly on egg costs. The Lane family enjoys knowing their eggs come from healthy birds while reducing kitchen food waste, as the chickens eat scraps. In contrast to buying organic eggs, they now spend only about $18 a month on feed.
Tommy Lane mentioned that having chickens means he doesn't have to worry about where his eggs are coming from or their quality, providing peace of mind.
The Lanes save around $120 a month by keeping their chickens, making it a financially sound decision amidst skyrocketing egg prices.
With the ongoing inflation and the impact of bird flu on chicken flocks, Lane's home-based solution ensures a steady supply of fresh eggs for his family.
Before getting his chickens, Lane estimated he would spend about $30 weekly on organic eggs; now, he spends just $18 on feed monthly.
