    I miss having chickens and ducks. Not only is the color different, the flavor is richer, and the yolk consistency is thicker and more sticky. The egg shells aren’t paper thin and don’t shatter into the bowl…

    I like city life, but miss being able to have fresh eggs from my own animals.

      If you have a yard in many cases you can have chickens. Apartment/condo living makes that a little more difficult though lol.

        Man, I wish I could have chickens. I legally could (Even in urban Seattle), but I just wouldn’t have the energy to care for them every day.

          I literally have 2 confirmed direct neighbors who have home chickens…I’m in the middle of a city with a 300k population…

          What isn’t true, that many times you can have chickens if you have a yard living in a city? I have several friends in Denver that have back yard chickens. Another that has a bee hive. Want to use more words to make whatever your point is so I can understand it?

      I don’t know where you live, and haven’t taken advantage of it, but farmers markets sometimes have eggs that are likely closer to what you’re missing.

        Seattle. The farmers markets here are so insanely priced. Farm to table means 5x pricing.
