The Solution to Lower Egg Prices

[Wyandot Jim]

 

[gunzo]

Funny, but this fiasco is BS IMO. Hearing all tis 8-10 dollar a dozen stuff & wife brought in 2 dozen the other day for a $1.89 each.

games being played.

 

[GasGuzzler]

Why would lower egg prices need a solution? And eggs have come down 40% in price here in the last three weeks.

 

[Mobuck]

The 'hatching to egg laying' cycle is fairly short compared to other livestock cycles so the egg price/shortage will be cleared up within a few months.
The 'solution' is keeping those flu carrying avian vectors away from domestic fowl. Over the past 3-4 weeks, the wetland west of my house has harbored literally THOUSANDS of transient waterfowl carrying God only knows what type(s) of pestilence and dropping it in the water and on every place they stop and poop. Sue the pants off every agency that supports these avian polluters. Hold them responsible for their 'livestock'.
The 'wetland' program is Federally funded and has built thousands of acres of untouchable wetlands harboring millions of various types of migrating waterfowl. In fact, thousands of these waterfowl no longer migrate any further than the Midwest since many of these Federal wetlands are tailored to providing nesting areas. The Feds spent $100K(according to one of the landowners) improving the nesting aspect of the wetland across the road last summer.
Even during summer, we see every sort of birds including seagulls coming in from the Gulf when bad weather threatens that area. What diseases do they bring? I wouldn't be surprised to hear that malaria has become a problem in the Midwest.
Rant over but please consider what I've said. This/these problem(s) are real and will continue.

How many birds were actually dieing from this flu??? Is it about the same as the number of people? These mass flock/herd slaughters are about controlling our access to food and pricing people out of the "Middle Class".

I've noticed that actual chicken meat being on sale at the local market. Like maybe they're selling off the egg layers that they're killing. So, have a couple chicken breasts for breakfast instead of eggs!

No pretty sure they are all "Destroyed". Not sure in what manner.

 

[roarindan51]

Funny thing...if you don't kill the chicken it'll lay eggs .

 

[powder smoke]

Grow your own! We have had all the eggs we could use and even
give some to our neighbors

 

[Wyandot Jim]

Hey Guys,
This was meant to be a joke. Laugh a little it is better for your health

 

[Iguanason]

The other solution is to not let the chickens go outside, where they are exposed to wild birds who carry the virus. But we like our free range eggs.

 

[AJGUNNER]

But what about the 6 foot separation???

 

[ArizonaTea123]

Just go to a USDA food bank and get powdered eggs. It has a ten year shelf life. Get some powdered milk as well.
US military has been eating powdered eggs for decades.

USUALLY the only time National Wildlife Refuges become a problem I when there is limited water. Don't believe me? Look at the records from Klamath National Refuge in Northern California.

But, if you kill the chicken, you can still make fried chicken and chicken tenders out of it!

Yeah, and that's why we're up to our ears in Canada geese swarming every convenient municipal body of water year-round.

 

[larry8]

Well, those geese are good to eat too.

 

[Cholo]

Yeah, but those geese taste like shi...Trudeau.

LOL

 

[Chief 101]

I know this thread started as a joke and a good one but having spent my early life on an egg ranch I think this video has a lot of truth to it

 

[Kevin]

I liked it! I don’t really even eat eggs. Maybe once a week if that.

 

[peachhead]

Same as everything else. Everybody quit buying eggs for a couple of weeks and I bet those prices will be dropping. But, that ain't gonna happen.

 

[GasGuzzler]

But they have gone down ... a lot here. And the topic title still makes no sense to me.

 

[dadstillsurfs]

And you're "limited" to what weapons you can reduce their population with.

In my neck of the woods the chicken industry use to and I believe still dose self regulate when it comes to disease control.
Farmers check their flocks for numerous problems if one is found and it is contagious. They contact their association and the flock is destroyed and the farmer is made hole financially. This prevents a farmer from keeping quite and passing along the same cones to other flocks

dadstillsurfs . . . Most are within city limits and are strictly protected.

The Paul Newman movie “Hud” illustrated how the Texas cattle industry worked to contain infectious diseases.
No conspiracy about reality.

...and when. Kinda important.

Hey GG,
It's not too hard to figure out. It's a Joke.
I will try and splane it to you.

Since some of the poor little chickens have the flu. Why don't we put
a little bitty mask on their little bitty beaks to keep that nasty flu from spreading to the other poor healthy little chickens. Geeeeeeee that will allow the healthy little chickens to lay more eggs and that will flood the market with eggs and the price drop. All of the poor little chickens with the nasty flu get to go in the soup pot or Sunday chicken dinner. Problem solved and everybody is happy EXCEPT the poor little chicken.

 

[GasGuzzler]

I get what the topic is supposed to be about. It's the title that is faulty. It says lower egg prices need a solution.

"The Solution to High Egg Prices" makes sense.

Never mind ...
