Today we dive into a topic that starts simple but quickly becomes a full-blown red pill moment—raising chickens and producing your own eggs.

At first, it seems like an innocent step toward self-sufficiency. Get a few birds, collect some eggs, enjoy better food. But before you know it, you’re staring straight into the cracks of the system. You realize grocery store eggs are garbage, regulations exist just to control you, and suddenly, you’re bartering with neighbors, dodging stupid local ordinances, and questioning everything you thought you knew about food, supply chains, and independence.

We’ll break down why eggs are the perfect entry point into the counter economy, how even a casual backyard flock exposes the flaws in the industrial food model, and why once you take this step, there’s no going back.

If you’ve ever wondered how a dozen eggs could shake someone out of the Matrix, stick around—because this is where the real wake-up call begins.

Join Me Today to Discuss… 

• The Egg-Pocalypse & Rising Prices – How insane egg prices make people rethink food supply current national average is $5.00 a dozen.  Hidden subsidiary cost is an additional dollar a dozen.  Historically without spikes eggs are 1.50-2.00 a dozen, this is what we have come to expect.
  • My Calculated Cost – I can produce eggs with 100% bought food, over two cycles, accounting for a 6 month feed debt for $1.41 a dozen with 25% of feed off the land, $1.06 a dozen, current US avg price is 366% higher than that.
• The Chicken Ownership Aha Moment – Once you produce eggs, you see how simple food production should be.
• Regulations & Restrictions – Zoning laws, HOA bans, and the shock of government interference in backyard food.
• The Quality Realization – Grocery store eggs vs. fresh eggs—why is industrial food so bad?
• The First Step into Barter & Parallel Economies – Trading eggs with neighbors opens doors to gray-market thinking.
• The Backyard Gray Market – People selling eggs “off the books” because of dumb restrictions.
• Supply Chain & Feed Costs Wake-Up Call – How even home producers realize market manipulation firsthand.
• The Gateway Drug to Self-Sufficiency – Chickens lead to composting, gardening, meat birds, rabbits, and beyond.
• Seeing the Edge of the Matrix – Once you stop relying on the system for one thing, you start questioning everything.
• Eggs as the Perfect Entry into the Counter Economy – Almost everyone eats eggs, making them the easiest, lowest-risk way to start informal trade with friends, family, and coworkers—real-world agorism in action.
• And you Thought it was Just an Egg – Until it led you to question everything & found answers you never expected
