How much are eggs in MExico?

As of this post, Mexican eggs are about half the price of our eggs ($4 here. About $2 there) They don't wash eggs there. So, that cuts some of the price out.

My daughter gets her eggs at Whole Foods (with an Amazon Prime membership to lower the price) at about the same price as Costco. She loves their freshness and deep yellow-orange color yolks.

Then again there’s the question of adding a crunchy texture to the Omelette...

I just raid the spotted owl nests in the woods behind my house when I need eggs.

Poached Southern Oregon Spotted Owl eggs go great with fried Delta Smelt!

They also don’t have to pay their chickens benefits and give them 8 weeks maternity leave every time they lay an egg.

I often wonder why small town local farms with chickens don’t have a problem with bird flu (like Mexico), nor their cows.

Backyard chicken flocks have had H5N1 infections, but those are not likely to make the news if a dozen chickens die. Mexico has smaller more widely distributed egg farms so the odds of mass die-offs are reduced...plus Mexico vaxxed their chickens against avian flu.

they never kill their chickens in Mexico that lay eggs, (unless they are going to eat them) that is why the eggs are cheaper there now

At top of the bird flu, we are victims of “cage free” eggs initiative. These cage free eggs cost substantially more, and now, in many states, they are the only available option!

Inflation, flu and cage free - the perfect storm!

if you wash the eggs, you remove the protective film that prevents bacteria getting in. Then you need to refrigerate the eggs.

Only supposed to kill chickens after they are no longer able to lay eggs, and you make chicken stew or chicken soup because those are tough old birds at that point.

They also don’t kill all the healthy chickens if some chickens get sick.

Their chickens can’t get sick they have vaccinated them against multiple strains of birdflu since 1995 at all of their commercial flocks. That is the reason they have cheap eggs their chickens cannot get HPAI or H1N5 so no need to cull since the birds are immune. It’s basic animal science. Flu vaccines ironically are incubated in live eggs for the live virus versions.

My chickens are waking up so I’m up to 7 dozen a week. By mid-summer, I should be getting close to 15 dozen a week.
