      No, these are plain white chicken eggs. Blame the color confusion on our two different color LED lights in the kitchen.

      NEXT BIDDER!

    I’m just wondering, is it not common to have backyard chickens in the US? Where I’m from, it seems like every 1 in 12 people have a few chickens clucking about.

      In many urban places and suburban neighbourhoods with HOAs it is illegal to just keep livestock in your yard. Outside of major cities it’s somewhat common

        Counterpoint:

        In what might be considered the original blueprint for American suburbia where I have 3 separate HoAs, just outside of Washington DC and only a few miles from a metro stop:

        I’m allowed chickens as long as I provide them an outdoor run that is fenced in and a coop they can roost in. Not allowed a rooster though.

      Not if you live in an apartment.

      Oddly enough, someone near our apartments has a rooster that crows damn near every morning. I’m pretty sure the rooster doesn’t lay any eggs though…

      In rural areas of the US it’s more of a thing.

      In most suburban areas of the US your neighbors wouldn’t appreciate the smell of chicken poo wafting into their yards, and if you have a rooster you’re definitely making enemies of your neighbors who don’t appreciate the unsolicited wakeup call at silly o’clock AM every day.

      In cities it’d be very difficult to find the space to do any of it. I knew one city dweller who briefly kept a couple chickens on a small apartment-building rooftop area they happened to have access to; the chickens there were filthy and unhealthy without access to foraging or clean spaces and they were always fighting with pigeons and each other.

    I’ll offer you three eggs in tomorrow’s eggs which will be worth more than the three eggs you have today.

    When tomorrow comes, I’ll borrow three eggs from somebody else to pay you back.

    I have for trade one exclusive NFT of a very rare, never used, forbidden thong of Margaret Thatcher. It portrays, in is fully majestic form, a stalwart Iron Lady in an iron chainmail thong, on horseback facing the sunset with a British flag atop Westminster Abbey.

    It has been described as magnificent by my dope man next door, who gives it the highest of praise for capturing the essence of his ex-wife’s nature, saying “she’s just like that battle-axe of mine.”

    This will surely be worth all three eggs.

        But sir slash madam, this NFT is priceless slash worthless. Surely it is worth at least three full eggs! Perhaps you can bop one of those chickens to get another one.

          You’re in luck! The last customer dropped the egg, and it didn’t break!

          I think it was boiled, hope that’s acceptable…

            Eggcelent! The NFT will be shipped shortly in a slightly damp envelope that smells faintly of coconut, as that is what my workshop smells like 3/4ths of the year. Also, this way you can distinguish it from the rest of the junk mail.

            As a tip, I’ve also included a rare strand of Maggie Thatcher’s pubic hair, as a gift free of charge. Enjoy!
