RE: Daily Chicken May 26
that's good to know. I have been eating avocado and chia seeds with my eggs so that has a lowering effect.

That sounds yum! I love avocados with my eggs too.
If you eat four a day, you'll probably want about six chickens. Most folks go with one of those cute chicken coop/run things from Tractor Supply, and they run about $200. You can probably make one yourself for cheaper if you're handy or pick up a used one of Facebook marketplace or Craigslist.
The chickens are the cheap part, at $3-5 a pop for babies. That many can be kept in a Rubbermaid tote for a brooder for a while, and you'll need a heat lamp, feeder, waterer, and bedding for them. That bit should be around another $100. Feed all depends on what quality of feed you want them to eat. Mine eat non GMO, soy free feed that I get for $25 per 50 pound bag. I get a bag every two weeks about. The cheapest feed at our feed store is about half that cost though.
Beware: chickens are the most addictive substance known to man. You'll get hooked.
