Rule 2. Racism, Trolling, Hate Speech - Permanent Ban

It will be temporary, the market always rights itself when supply and demand come into play. Yes it's culling from avian flu and yes it's farmers taking advantage of the opportunity to increase profits. But generally farmers aren't making high profit on commodity foods unless you're talking big agra, and we should all be supporting the smaller ones that give a reasonable life to animals. As far as I'm concerned I'm willing to pay the small farmers I support a few extra dollars until supply increases for a dozen eggs (likely later this year). After keeping a coop myself while paying high prices for organic feed, breaking my back cleaning bird crap and watching the local fox, owl and hawk population regularly 'cull' my flock I'm very happy to pay a bit more for awhile. If you're lucky enough to have a neighbor selling eggs good on ya!

Here a link to the story you can read or listen to!

Yes! That's my understanding!

But chicken meat prices have actually declined since September

It's not like layers are the only chickens who are affected by the avian flu.

My parents own a farm 😂

you're excluded tho

So I can just submit this photo to BBB along with a pic from Hanny? This is at Family Dollar. $2.15...

I just checked- chicken feed is still $13 a 40lb bag at Tractor Supply. Last I got was $24 for organic layer pellets which are now $27. In fact you can tell how little prices have actually gone up by checking out your local farm stand. Have they gone up? Sure- have they tripled? Not at all.

Over 50,000,000 laying hens have died or been slaughtered because of Avian flu.

You don't know what I know.

Carolina logging boots in the spring and summer and Ranger by Honeywell red lined rubber boots in wet/cold weather.

That’s unchecked capitalism for ya. Even more of a reason to support local agriculture!

The only really places impacted by bird flu are Egg Mills where you shouldn’t be buying eggs anyway. Most local, small and medium sized farm-groups were not impacted nearly as much.

apparently it is not inflation, not bird flu, but a secret third thing (price gouging): https://twitter.com/musharbash_b/status/1616008838842548224?s=20

Just an FYI that your neighbors selling eggs locally have had the same prices for the last 3 years, it might be a good time to consider going local for your eggs.

When I spent a summer doing trail work in Grafton Notch (like 20 years ago), there was a hermit living there in the woods who claimed that the land the state park is on rightfully belonged to him. He was the nemesis of the park rangers.

Sometimes he would vandalize park infrastructure or send them threatening letters. They were always searching for his campsites and would destroy them when they found one, but he would just move to another one. The rangers said he had been there for years and years. No idea if he’s still there.

We don't eat egg chickens

Must be fun to live that way…
