There are not only dead chickens from this, but dead ducks and Montana just found grizzly bears that have it, this is a public health thing not an economic thing

This is not the case. Bird flu did have an impact on the amount of eggs available. The largest egg producer in the US posted an increase in profits of 68%. Its an increase of profits, not inflation. It’s corporate greed using the mask of the bird flu.

It's not even 25% inflation, last I saw something like 53 million hens have died or been culled, the last time we had a outbreak like this it was more like 50 million by the time it was under control which it isn't yet.

I looked again and it's up to 58 million

Big egg sticking it to the poor man again.

But seriously there is a supply issue caused by bird flu creating a shortage. Prices are going up to reduce demand.

Except it wasn’t even actually bird flu. Farmers were instructed to cull their bird flocks on the fear that bird flu might spread. It’s a manufactured inflation

Do you have a special spot in your backyard for this, or do you lay them in the comfort of your own home?

🤣🤣🤣

The specialty small-farm eggs are actually cheaper than the mass-market ones these days.

Just remember you have to feed those birds and feed prices keep going up.

Sauce: I’m a crazy bird dude.

Avian bird flu. Though that’s what they are saying.

Doesnt sound like it. Most older timer blue collar guys I know still working are on something to deal with the pain.

Ignorant lying pos like you is what i mean.

Been on painkillers myself, no issues. But i don't have any predispositions to addiction as well. And I'm smart enough not to be taken advantage of by pill pushing doctors and nefarious companies who have lost multitudes of lawsuits for their majority roles in the opioid crisis.

You keep feeding yourself your weirdo delusional total self reliance mythos.

Im sure that will make your kids talk to you. Lololololol

Bought eggs at Whole Foods (in Massachusetts) on Monday, and they were $3.49 for a dozen, which is about average for them.

How are usually less expensive grocery stores, ripping people off?

Was considering getting some this spring

Market basket has Pete and Garry's dozen for like 3.50. They are medium eggs but I don't really notice the Size difference

“Egg” industry , aka farmers not cashing in on pandemic. Very seldom will the farmers get dealt a win by luck or not

BIRD FLU!

Minimum wages for chickens went up.

Ever see the news? Or even a glimpse of any of the headlines in the last 2 months?

Millions of hens dead from bird flu

Bird flu.

Where am I supposed to care?

Hannaford feels overpriced to begin with but yeah the egg prices are insane

I lay my own.

Please tell me you're being sarcastic

I'm a big Simon and Garfunkel fan too!
