Generally going to be significantly more expensive then buying them at the grocery store. The profit margin for large scale producers is something like half a cent per egg, and a hobby farmer isn't going to benefit from economies of scale.
My neighbour up home tried starting a business breeding chickens and other birds for sale. Trouble was he didn't know what he was doing and was uninteresting in finding out.

So going by their numbers, that's $600 for six months, which is about 26 weeks. If they produce a dozen eggs per week, that comes out to $23 per dozen. That's not saving you any money. The actual idea seems to be that it's more of a hobby, but tying the trend to "rising egg prices" fails the arithmetic check, even at current egg prices.
Just did a little Googling. The BBC has this:
Rising egg prices in the US spark chicken rental trend
The service provides hens, feed, and support for six months, allowing customers to collect fresh eggs at home.
Chicken rentals. Yeah.
And true to form:
Like everything, it's actually more complicated than that. The section dedicated as a private cemetery is actually pretty small. It might reflect a couple hundred in taxes per year at the utmost, and in order to do it, you have to set up a maintenance company with assets bonding the maintenance for generations, even in the event of a change of ownership. So Trump spent many tens of thousands to do this, against a couple hundred per year in taxes? Taxes weren't the reason; it was incidental.
The thing that gets me about this is Ivana's children allowing the grave to be abandoned. I mean, I'm pretty sure they have the financial wherewithal to kick in $100/mo for a guy to cut the grass. It's like they are deliberately and publicly spitting on their mother's grave. Maybe that's to show allegiance to Agent Orange? I dunno.And true to form:
Fact Check: Are These Real 2023 Photos of Ivana Trump's Burial Site at Trump Golf Course?
The in-question photos, taken a year after Ivana Trump was laid to rest, showed the site obscured with grass and weeds.www.yahoo.com
I think it's just self-centeredness. She's dead. There is no benefit to Trump or their children in spending money (or time) on her grave.
If they are counting on Evangelical support (not an inconsequential demographic), you'd think they would at least put on a show? There's not many demographics in the conservative repubs that approve of dumping your mom's corpse on the side of a golf course like a beer can tossed out the car window.
Evangelicals supporting the multiple-married, multiple-affaired, non-church-going, sometimes-abortion-supporting Trump are already cognitively-dissonanced to a degree that nothing will change their minds. Trump could trample the cross while demanding everyone accept the Mark of the Beast and it wouldn't change their minds.
Hm. Fair. I mean, fairly observed. You know.
It's not the blasphemy or the grandiosity I mind so much as the tackiness. Trump's sense of....I don't want to call it "style"....revolves around gold and gold-colored things. He's a rich guy with a poor guy's idea of what a rich guy's stuff is like. There is no subtlety, no grace, no taste. Trump would choose gold-flecked faux-marble linoleum over genuine hardwood floors.
◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ THIS. It's what really gets under my skin, the trailer trash gaudiness.
In the common parlance he was found guilty of rape, he's assaulted many other women, he's an adulterer, he's a fraudster, he's a liar, I doubt how an ex-wife is buried will be the tipping point for the evangelicals.
For evangelicals, cognitive dissonance is baked in IMO.
I was talking about the kids, not the Russian asset. I don't get how the kids can stomach their mother being tossed ignonomously aside like trash. Trump, I can see treating his ex wife like that.
They are Trump's kids. His sociopathic worldview is their sociopathic worldview.
