Eggs..

[Tapeworm]

$6-9 here. Tbh I don't think it's unreasonable. How can you house & feed birds, collect & inspect eggs, transport, stock, refrigerate, etc, for under ten cents an egg? You must have fed that bird fucking sawdust, and while the product appears to be an egg there's nothing nutritionally egg-like about it.

I intend to raise birds someday. Chickens and ducks for eggs and meat. Maybe microchip them so they can forage and return to their fox-proof coop at night. Idk, it's all a half baked idea and I might suck at killing them. I cant even kill a mouse. I return them to the wild if I catch one, which my gf rolls her eyes at and she's never even caught me talking to them while I do it. What? They're cute!

Compared to $0.85, it's quite unreasonable. This inflation stuff SUCKS!

I spend about $25/month feeding 8 hens, get almost 180 eggs a month on that not a bad investment

..anyone else having trouble finding them? We usually buy in bulk (5-15doz at a time) from either Costco or Sam’s but they’ve been out of stock for the most part. Same with regular grocery stores but when you find them paying a lot? This goes for whites as well

I have not had troubling finding eggs, but they do seem very expensive lately. Specially the cage-free 100% organic eggs. Really, you buy 15 dozen at once. Refrigerated eggs last from between 3 to 5 weeks. Freezing eggs is not advised. Just checked and Safeway has cage free non-organic eggs at $15.99 for 5 dozen. Walmart brand (Marketside) large, cage-free, organic, brown eggs 18 count are $6.72.

[Primemuscle]

find a local smaller farm, some may offer a csa box. You'll get higher quality ingredients most of the time for less money since you dont have the transportation or supermarket markup

Buying eggs from a farm is a great idea. They are definitely fresher. Fresh eggs can be kept much longer than store bought eggs for this reason. The downside is if you have to drive very far to buy them. The time spent and gas used may offset any savings.

After Church my wife and I went to a Vons to pick up things to make for our New Years dinner. There NOTHING in the eggs section. Completely dry

Yep. The working class was already squeezed before inflation, working more than a full time job to make ends meet. Idk where this will go. Mortgage defaults, mass social program-ism, digital currency reset? The Big Suck is still to come imo.

WHY exactly is this happening (shortage + massive price hike) to our beloved chicken eggs of peace?




(Coach your thread titles sicken + infuriate me.)

Sorry.. usually my thread titles are cut and pasted from articles. Don’t shoot the messenger. Aside from that I read something about a bird flu that might be causing it…🤷‍♂️

I'm not too concerned about whether it's a true or false economy. The value would be in quality, like garden tomatoes vs store bought, and that I could give the birds a good life.

I've also thought about raising a few goats since I've got 6 acres and I love goat's cheese and like goat meat. Same reservations tho. Idk if I could kill a mammal. Humans, no problem. They're morally culpable but I don't think I'm allowed to farm those.

No worries.

No way it's because of some bird flu. This is happening all over the world. Chickens aren't like humans where they have freedom, travel, get around, spread germs...

Sensing sinister "elite" / Bill Gates -type vibes..

Last week when I was at the local Walmart Neighborhood Market, I noticed that the egg section was totally bare. I assumed the refrigerated case where they are normally kept failed so they moved them elsewhere. It is certainly possible they were sold out. I didn't ask because I did not need eggs. The other day when I was in Safeway, their egg section appeared to be fully stocked. Maybe Vons being egg bare was a fluke. We don’t have a Vons Market here.

Fertilizer?  Some of them are so full of crap that's pretty much all they're worth .

It’s not a fluke.

Unless it’s happening all over the SoCal market.

Went to Costco the other day as I usually like to buy 4-5 packs (Kirkland 24 egg/pack) of eggs at a time. When I went to the register they were limiting the purchase to only 2 packs of eggs per customer. I paid, proceeded to put away the purchase in my car and then went back in, got 2 more packs and went through the self check-out. The guy at the store exit (holding a marker to place a check mark over your receipt) smiled when he realized this was my second go around.

Of course not, don't be silly. He told me he had just finished inside of you.

This is exactly why I got hens,  this year. It does cost money to feed them and they are pretty spoilt. I see them as my pets. But the eggs they give me are large with yellow yolks. I have more than I need. I sold a couple of dozen before Christmas.
They are culling chickens in the USA because of bird flu. It’s just another way they are trying to starve us. There is no bird flu.

Only if true.

He most likely smiled at you (like Jesus to a child) because he's a getbig lurker and realized who you were from your avatar.
Fyi you look just like George Michael (did).

Mmm would love to be one of your spoilt pet hens and lay an egg for you.

An epidemic has affected the poultry flocks...

That sounds pretty good!  My older brother and his wife have 4 hens now and I think Miss Jane (here) has 8(?).    Happy New Year!
