Egg Prices Are NOT by Accident

Clearly, but the direct focus we have on egg prices specifically seems inorganic. Is it to further prime people for the bird flu, to see how easily masses can be manipulated with political wedge issues, or is our collective attention span so shot they need to pick one item to focus on to hammer home that we're in a slow economic collapse?
I think it's attention span. Eggs are a very small aspect of our diet
If that's the case and they really want us to be acutely aware of the economic collapse, well, Trump sycophants will probably not like the resultant "problem-reaction-solution". At least, not while it's theoretical, once it's in play they'll think it's the greatest thing since optional MRNA shots
I don't trust anything that's coming, Trump or otherwise
You are correct to not trust anything coming, but I have to tell you that I think you underestimate the egg's use in our diet.
I'm fully aware of how many products use eggs. How many eggs average per person per day? X 334 million. Some hens lay multiple eggs a day. Until the number of culled hens hits 50 or 60 million in 4-6 months, I'm not too worried about it
Maybe of your diet. I actually never ate eggs either until I started dealing with this low phosphorous shit. Now ill eat two eggs and some toast for lunch. I usually skip breakfast. I normally skipped lunch but I cant be skipping meals because of the phospho :/. Was crashing again on me the other week when I was sick.
Nowadays I eat about a dozen eggs a week :/. So of course egg prices are gonna skyrocket, thats how it works.
Canada bragging about their "low" egg prices, mother fuckers they werent that cheap to begin with lmao.
It does feel a bit artificial but did you guys catch that huge chicken egg farm fire last week in ohio?

Just the milk cows... for now.
I really cant wait to be paying 10$ for a gallon of milk and 10$ for a dozen eggs.
Listening to the radio earlier, canadians are more than happy to pay a extra 17% for non american things.
Fucking retards.
2 eggs a day is not that expensive. I eat eggs quite often. It can be a good opportunity to look for junk food in your diet to cut out to offset the cost. Rising prices make me look for areas of waste and when prices come back down I'll be in a better position
I suggest you guys just get hens. Even with a small suburban back yard they will do fine. I think if you give them a back yard space they will forage and do okay as long as you supplement their food supply with some scratch feed grains and food scraps or even ask your neighbors for any food scraps they have to use to make your own organic rich soil and maybe buy off your neighbors by offering free eggs for their silence or cooperation. Hens make less noise than dogs. Actually, i don't know why owning hens is not COMMON among all Americans. I guess it was because eggs were so cheap in a store? Well now it makes sense for most Americans to get chickens instead of useless cats or dogs. Pitch it as "environmental" to get democrats on board.
Hens are permissable where I live in suburb of Denver but roosters are not. My dog keeps the squirrels and rabbits out of my garden and she runs in and out of the house at will. A guy at work told me you need to be careful what you feed the hens because they get gout or something like that. Hens will also clean the grubs out of your compost pile. They're good to have but they do attract rats. It's important to find the balance
Chickens eat snakes, mice, rats, voles, etc. They do eat grubs which is good thing. they eat worms out of my compost but there's plenty of worms.
Chickens help BRING balance. They do not subtract from it. They eat lots of bugs and vermin. They poop much less than cats or dogs. They are practically free to feed. Maybe $20 a month for a whole flock that will yield you 5x-10x that much in eggs. There's really not that many disadvantages.
To me, it doesn't really make sense NOT to have them if your family eats lots of eggs and you have at least 1/4 acre property.
I do have a 1/4 acre and it's better to let your chickens forage. I met a different guy that always bought food for his laying hens and it was no cheaper than eggs are now. It's definitely cost effective if you only supplement as needed. I don't have the same problem with Miller moths and Japanese beetles as my neighbors because the grubs get removed from my massive compost pile
Chickens will destroy a sprouting garden. So if you want a garden and chickens in a limited amount of space, they are tough to deal with..
Also, don’t feed them the corporate scratch feed. You won’t get healthy quality eggs if you do. You have to provide. a balanced diet for them if you want them to produce well rounded nutritional eggs.
If you can do that, chickens are 100%(700% with inflation?) worth having.
BTW, my dog is good at elimination of rats and mice. She'll spend all night in the back yard hunting, she loves it
Serious question...
How do they feel about you taking their eggs? Is there hostility or they are ok with it?
I've always kinda wondered this, I mean it IS their babies.
I don't do it right in front of them.
Also i sometimes leave one egg behind so they don't abandon the nest.
I feed the crushed egg shells back to them.
Low Phosphorus shit? Do you get enough Vit d from the sun? Sun with sweat and exercise?
I eat about 2-3 eggs per day and i always eat breakfast and usually skip lunch and then go for an early dinner around 6pm
I think chicken eggs are probably one of the healthiest things you can get from a grocery store which is probably one factor why they want to jack up the prices or limit supply.
I've been bringing my customers free eggs and they keep hiring me to come back every week now. LOL
I can use eggs as currency. They're worth almost a dollar each now.
My hens free range around the property and seem to survive well against hawks, foxes, raccoons, possums, etc. I got one of those automatic chicken coup closing/opening doors which makes it all much easier.
Price of eggs are roughly two reasons:
Joe Biden Petrol Policies. When the price of gas comes down, Ukraine war ends and commodity becomes cheaper again.
Because of a scheduled H1N5 bird flu event Joe Biden ordered the irradiation of 500,000,000 chickens across The US and Canada. If Canada wanted to take part, and it did.
Nothing is by accident.
