I can understand this. 9 cents for an egg is outlandish.
Stick to choking them.
We got Henrietta when she was a chick one Easter. After we had her a while, it was determined that Henrietta was a Henry and there’d be no eggs.
One day, Henry disappeared. I never found out what happened to him, but Mom did make broiled chicken a day or so after he was gone.
I would never do it, but I’ll bet there are some people who would allow chickens in bed with them. These are folks who will treat a friendly bird as though it were a lifesized stuffed toy for their kissing and hugging pleasure.
We’re all going to die.
(I’ve had chickens for tens years and have never experienced any health problems related to them. No Salmonella. No Avian Flu. No Gallus STD’s.)
I used to keep pigeons when I was a kid. Must have breathed the dust when I was cleaning their loft and contracted histoplasmosis. I remember being real sick one time afterward. Every time I get a chest X-ray the doctors get all worried that the scars on my lungs are cancer, but they aren’t.
Oh, Fer Pete’s Sake!
They find ONE case in a million that gets sick from chickens, and it’s an, ‘epidemic.’
I’ve raised HUNDREDS of laying hens through the years with no problems at all.
Well, except for raccoon attacks, hawk attacks and one dog I had that LOVED to chomp chickens. ;)
It’s a bad idea to kiss them anyway. They’ll peck your lip!
In the wintertime the temp was 40 below sometimes- We would bring all the chickens from the coop into the warm house cellar by the furnace where they would stay for days til it warmed upoutside. We had chickens for 30 years and none of us kids ever got sick.

They need to learn first thing you do is wash your eggs and your hands before putting them in your mouth

We’ve had a lot of chickens. Not one has ever had salmonella. We’ve had the state come and test and tag them. Just keep the coop clean. That’s all you have to do.
Yes I have 5 hens. Wash my hands everyday after cleaning the coop and/or touching them. Plus I wear gloves.
