I already include “-pinterest” in a good number of searches because their results often taint my results.

How many years have you worked in the egg business?

If they wanted to go buy a commercial goose egg that’s how it works. Geese eggs are rare. They take a lot of investment in time to produce. If you can’t recoup the costs then you can’t sell as selling requires time and time is money if you believe that labor should be compensated.

Eggs go to waste. There is no way we can eat them as fast as they come. It’s not really even a factor of price. We could list them as free and even though the stores are sold out we’d still not get rid of them. Selling eggs is similar to the worst parts of Facebook marketplace. People say they will come and don’t. They show up and the eggs aren’t good enough because you don’t feed them the same exact feed they would if they had chickens. They can only buy if there are at least five dozen available. The eggs aren’t white, or blue, or green, or whatever their kink is.

Egg buyers are the most picky people on earth. We did get lucky last year with one couple that would always take whatever we had. But we don’t actually set a price. We live in poverty. We let anyone that shows up pay whatever they want. These people covered our feed costs but that was about it.

It takes a full year to hatch them and then wait for them to become soldiers since they are only aggressive in the spring. Ain’tnobodygottimeforthat-meme.gif

I have chickens. People refuse to pay $5 a dozen for our pasture eggs. Even though that’s cheaper than any other eggs in the area. I’m also sitting on a dozen goose eggs. A goose egg is three times the size of a chicken egg. They want to pay less than three times the cost of a chicken egg, even though geese only lay during the spring and only lay every other day.

It’s weird living in a world where people are rescuing our past from the Ministry of Information sponsored Memory Hole.
