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.
As a vegetable gardener that is occasionally snowed under with tomatoes or peppers, I’d love a neighbor with chickens who would occasionally trade a couple dozen eggs for a couple hundred cayenne peppers or something.
Why get a paycheck? Just work for free!

I don’t know anyone with chickens that stores the eggs in the fridge.
