Definitely no cost savings but like @Creekland, I like eggs from chickens that are living a better life. The eggs taste better. Our neighbors have backyard chickens. Just something to daydream about from time to time.
In a well built coop they stay warmer, but it can still get below freezing so we have to watch their water.
But like many animals, chickens were designed to survive cold temps. We have yet to have an issue including when temps drop below 0 which they sometimes do.
The short answer, yes. The long answer, the cliffhanger, I posted in the āFitnessā thread.
I found out this afternoon that my husband eats three scrambled eggs most mornings! No wonder we run out of eggs so quickly.
My husband eats lots of eggs too. The prices have gone up so we are trying to be a little less carefree with egg buying and consumption!
And here I am learning that apparently many people eat eggs daily. I donāt know anyone in my life who does this - not even FIL. The only thing he requires at every meal is some sort of bread. Same with my grandmother on that one (bread).
Breakfasts are far, far more varied where I come from heritage-wise, as well as with those I know about as friends, etc.
Many people simply do a piece of fruit for breakfast, or toast, or oatmeal, or cereal, and some, like us, will do leftovers too.

Eggs are a quick and simple way to add protein to oneās diet.
I was not trying to say my husband eats eggs daily, just that he likes eggs and eats them regularly-2-4 times a week. He also eats cereal, fruit, bagels, yogurt, etc. I am not really a breakfast person but do like an egg now and again.
We eat eggs when we have them. I enjoy them. But here they can be lunch or supper as much as they are a breakfast food. I know weāre unusual with that part though!
Not really unusual. We like a frittata for dinner now and again, bacon and egg sandwiches, etc. I make an egg at lunchtime once in awhile. Deviled eggs are great! Lots of reasons to like eggs, at any time of day!
Yes- lunch omelets are typical for us. Also quiches. And I do bake cakes and cookies etc. from scratch and need eggs. I donāt like to eat breakfast (just tea) but will eat a hard boiled egg mid-morning. Most people I know have ābreakfast for dinnerā fairly often. Maybe itās regional, but itās also a less expensive (until recently!) way to get protein for large families.
Even the smell of eggs before 10am makes me ill. I have to leave the room. But come lunch or dinner, I like scrambled eggs. We eat more eggs when they are less expensive, and vice versa. The trouble these days is that everything has gotten more expensive! (Except beans. They have oddly stayed the same more or less around here.)
Quiche! Great for dinner with a salad on the side.
I do not like breakfast food. To have breakfast food for dinner would just make me sad. I have breakfast everyday, but if I have 6 eggs a week it would be a lot. One of my regular breakfast food is fresh berries with yogurt, and that usually comes to $10 for the berries. Eggs are cheap in comparison.
Eggs at other times not unusual at all. Either traditionally scrambled, fried or poached or egg salad, omelets, frittatas, Dutch baby, etc
I like a decently substantial breakfast. And it often includes eggs/toast/fruit or egg/fruit/cheese or oatmeal with a savory side of scrambled eggs.
Thatās a big breakfast.
I work out at least 3 miles every morning before work - and donāt eat breakfast before 9am - and donāt always have an official lunch - more of a mid day snack. I love breakfast!
If you think thatās a big breakfast, then your jaw would probably hit the floor if you saw mine.
But I got to eat to maintain weight, because Iād be in a large calorie deficit with my exercise routine.
Itās not every often, but Iāve been known to make my morning scramble at night, but Iāll add some pasta sauce and parm cheese and create a āJoeās Special.ā
I love eggs, but sometimes the daily egg is part of a waffle. Interestingly I ended up eating eggs most of the days we were in Japan as well even though their idea of breakfast is nothing like ours. (Miso soup, rice and pickles were regulars.)
I love my Chinese breakfast. I have no taste for waffle and pancake, anything thatās sweet. I eat hard boiled eggs with soy sauce.
Did they serve tamago for breakfast in Japan? Itās found at a sushi restaurant, consisting of an egg omelette shaped like a small block on top rice with seaweed wrapped around the center.
