In September, she began selling some of the eggs and started keeping track of her income and expenses. [...] She has taken in $457 from egg sales and spent $428, mostly on feed. That left $29 in the Mason jar where she keeps her earnings, to spend the next time she buys feed. But that accounting does not include [...] the $1,500 she spent converting the old shed in her yard to a henhouse.

Interesting article in the Times. Thanks for the pointer. So, it looks like no one's saving any money on their egg bill but thousands across the country are doing it. Must be some other draw, eh? Like the satisfaction of building a coop and raising a flock? Surely no one's in it for all "that organic stuff".
