We can grow more eggs, we can grow more chickens. As many of each as we want. Don’t even ask... “which one comes first?”

To heck with stores. Take a drive out-of-town and stop at those homes with “Yard Eggs For Sale” signs in their front yards.

Yep !!
People don’t realize how old eggs already are, when they hit the shelf in the store.
I’ve got my own happy backyard chicks, and thankfully, don’t have to deal with expensive store bought eggs.

Eggs are so expensive I switched to Cadbury.

It’s worse than that. “Presumptive positive.” Seriously.

Otherwise spot-on.

We just walk out to the chicken house and get some. One hen is getting broody and pecks you.

Costco carries a brand I can’t recall that are brown, soy-free, free-range eggs in a 24-pack for about 9 bucks.

Best deal anywhere. Trying them next week.

By the by, obligatory dig at RFK Jr for failing to address the ongoing defective policies which created this problem in the first place.

F’ing liars! The chickens were not killed by a virus. They were killed because they might have had a virus. Some probably did have a virus and some smaller number may have died of a virus but the vast majority by an astronomical margin were killed. It’s the same as the Covid response: Draconian. “If only one life is saved it will be worth it.” Kill them all until there is no trace.

Aldi has limit 2 dozen here. No idea if that’s everywhere or not. I think around $6 per dozen last week.

Costco price has always been lowest and remains low.

That's provided your local Costco has eggs. I met people in another warehouse store (where they bundled 2 cartons of 18 eggs each together) reporting that they had just come from Costco, which was out of eggs.

True. But there’s a limit. Either two or four cartons. I don’t remember.

Still they can sell out, it’s true.

The supermarkets should have hens laying eggs while in the store. Customers would line up and wait.... 🐓🥚🐣
