The cartels collect half of that.
Eggs have come down here in OR. They are $7.50 now
Mexico vaccinate their chickens against H1N5 and other strains of HPAI It is that simple their flocks are not susceptible. They have vaccinated since 1995 So a very long time.
They also don’t worry about minor illnesses. If you die, you die.

They also don’t have an out-of-control Ag Dept.
$5.65 for a dozen large at WalMart yesterday. VA
I’m here in Cabo San Lucas now. Recently the smallest amount of eggs available at the Walmart was a pack of 30, which I think were 150 pesos, or about $7.50. There’s definitely no shortage of them here.
Darrell, one of the brothers on the later Bob Newhart Show.
Darrell: Darrell picked up some eggs if you want breakfast.
Newhart: Great. But....they’re the regular hen’s eggs, right? Not some other kinds?
Darrell: Uh....(Looking unsure).
Got 5 dozen eggs @ Costco in Fairbanks for less than $22.
Western New York: Fluctuates... today $6.68 for 18 eggs ($4.50/doz). A month ago, $7.30/doz. They are limiting maximum of 10 dozen per sale..
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.
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
if you wash the eggs, you remove the protective film that prevents bacteria getting in. Then you need to refrigerate the eggs.
They also don’t kill all the healthy chickens if some chickens get sick.
I got eggs at Trader Joes over the weekend. Because it was TJs of course they had all those price increasing words (cage free, grain fed blah blah blah). $4.49
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.
Eggs last longer if they are not washed.
They last even longer if they are flipped over every so often when they are in storage.
The price of eggs in all the markets in my area is far more than $4 a dozen.
The lowest price eggs in Walmart was $5.77 a dozen a couple days ago.
I haven’t seen them lower than that anywhere else.
