That’s $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.

Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

    We have quite a lot of rules and regulations in place for how chickens are allowed to be kept. If you’re curious, Jordbruksverket has a guide on their website., assuming you’re not Swedish here is a machine-translated version.

    According to regulations on disease control, poultry kept for food production must be enclosed when they are outside. This also applies if you sell meat or eggs on a smaller scale.

    You may only have your birds outside without enclosure if you do not sell meat or eggs from them.

    I think this rule was put in place back when there was a bird flu outbreak a few years ago. My old principal used to keep chickens, but she stopped doing that after the outbreak because she felt like the rules around how chickens were allowed to be kept after that was too inhumane. Granted I think she said that you’re not allowed to let them roam free at all so maybe she misunderstood, or maybe the law has been changed since.

      Seems like you’re required to keep them indoors during the outbreak of a disease like bird flu - there’s mention of this in the section right after the part you quoted.

      I think the rules about having some form of enclosure are fairly sensible and probably not incompatible with an acceptable life for the birds. I’d guess a fence around your property would suffice, after all, which would simultaneously serve to make sure that none of your birds get lost.
