Here this idiot Newscum declared an emergency for bird flu, which is not even affecting hardly anyone.
I guess that meant culling hens that produce eggs for market.
Monday can’t come soon enough.
Why are you living behind enemy lines?
>> How much are eggs where you live.
Too high in Texas — over three bucks a dozen IIRC.
But not ten bucks!
2.25 a dozen, Bilbao Spain. Not even Eurosocialists can screw up as badly as the Biden administration and the Democrat party.
Hard to believe, but Hawaii has cheaper eggs than you guys.
Were it not for the fact my wife’s new dog(Great Dane)thinks chickens are toys, we were giving eggs away.
all our chickens were free range. They kept the bugs down.
Once we figure out how to train Sheba
not to play with the birds, we will be back up and donating eggs to the food banks.
A side note
Ever seen a solid black Great Dane? Sheba has only one very small white spot. It makes midnight trips to the bathroom interesting because on a moonless night you cannot see her on the deck/floor!
She weights 140 pounds and sleeps soundly.
Lucky for me I was judo trained and know how to fall!
Hope this adds some humor to you weekend!
$6.16 for 18 at Walmart.
If eggs go to $20 a dozen, I’m gonna buy some hens.
Been $3.89 here in Indiana for about a month now. They haven’t dipped below $2 in general during Biden.
And gas and OJ and .......✖️
FWIW Trump had a three-hour dinner with Bill Gates this week...
In 2020 I paid 56 cents at Walmart for an 18 pack of extra large eggs. Now I pay $6.16 for 18 large eggs. Last week it was over $7...
Approx. $5 for 18
I think they went up here too, but still under $3.00.
Yesterday regular (ie. caged hens) large white eggs were IIRC $4.54 / doz. @ Aldi and $3.97 / doz. @ Wally World. Mid-South USA. Usually WW is higher, so, THAT was interesting. WW “curbside” (online ordering) this morning is $4.17.
The limit was 2 doz. @ Aldi, I don’t recall a limit at WW, nor see one @ WW “curbside”
I didn’t even look at “cage free” or free range yesterday, but WW “curbside” this morning is $6.11 for cage free, $7.50 for free range “organic”*). Anyone else have reports on how much more they are now? (I’ve actually seen them almost competitive @ Aldi the last time bird flu was a big problem.)
Layer pellets were on sale @ $11.99 @ Rural King - still high compared to the $8.99 they were a few years ago, but, IF these egg prices hold up, I’d think about trying to increase our flock and go back to selling some eggs. Right now, in colder than average for mid. January weather, with mostly old hens, we get enough eggs for ourselves, but not much more.
*Our birds get to free range often, but since we supplant a lot with commercial feed, I can’t call them “organically fed”. I spotted one of our 2nd generation black hens eating a mouse it’d caught yesterday - too bad they all don’t do that, unless it increases the risk of the chickens picking up parasites?
Chicks are really pricey now too, though —$3.97 ea. for the cheapest @ Rural King. I’m guessing supply is low and seeing very high demand.
I thought the culling is normally done primarily to try to protect other flocks of domesticated chickens, turkeys, etc. How effective that is, with the virus loose in the wild, and not all flocks totally isolated, I don’t know.
Anybody know if culled birds can still be used in pre-cooked foods sold in groceries?
Fresh chicken meat is still high @ the groceries, but not quite as high as it was (IIRC) about a year ago.
They shut down the largest egg producer in the country because of bird flu.
$5 or so a dozen depending on where we get them. Your $10 seems excessive but I don’t go to Starbucks for anything 🤣🤣🤣
I get them for $3.19 a dozen in TN. A year ago they were $1.29 per dozen.
Bought 18 this past Wednesday. The store had only 18-count cartons in Central California. Price: $14.39. Thanks Newsom and Biden.
I can get a dozen large eggs (Great Value) from Walmart for $4.17 - just looked it up on line. I’m in S, MS
Where are you - Kalifornia?
HEB has their house brand $2.49 limit two, they sell out before they hit the shelves people are buying them out of the stock boy’s boxes in the early mornings.
It’s just the flu bro...H5N1 is spreading fast amongst flocks in over half of the continental states. It’s irrelevant whether you “believe” it the effect is mass cullings of flocks to contain the spread. If to u thing the incoming admin is going to stop the cullings you are naive it’s the best scientific way to limit the spread. And yes that means for a period of time supply and demand means those with the capital get the eggs they desire at the price they are willing to pay. Winter should slow the wild spread as birds bed down , but in spring when they migrate back their droppings will spread it around again. H5N1 has been around for years it periodically has outbreaks that’s just life and when it jumps to cows and pets it starts to spread faster and wider.
Here in Indiana, they range from $2.99 for 18 eggs to $5.39 for 18 eggs depending on the sales for the week.
