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.
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.
