      Chickens lay a shit ton of eggs, up to one a day each if they’re mature and well fed. Even with a small flock it’s easy to run out of room in the fridge. You have to get rid of them somehow - so why not give what you can’t use to the neighbors? It’s not at all uncommon, I’ve been on both sides of this “transaction” hundreds of times.

          Now you do, nice to meet ya lol. Of course when I ran out of room in the fridge I’d leave some on the countertop. The fridge is just a more convenient place for me, plus if anything they’ll keep longer in there, which is more important when you have a queue of 6 dozen eggs because your hens won’t chill out
