I haven’t seen truckloads of them going down the road with feathers flying out looking like a blizzard so I’m going with yes.

What I don't get is that there have been avian flu outbreaks before and hundreds of thousands, or even entire egg farms have been wiped out, but never before has the price jumped the way it has in the past few months. We're being fed a lie. And once the outbreaks are over, the price will never drop to what it was pre-Thanksgiving 2022. Forced price hike.

I used to have a dozen chickens back in the 80s. The eggs were great, and I sold the excess for $1 a dozen to my co-workers. Eventually they all died off or were eaten by raccoons and foxes, so I just stopped doing that. I do miss the fresh eggs tho.
And one time, I noticed they weren't laying, nothing in the nest boxes. Couldn't figure out why. They appeared fine otherwise. Came time to clean the henhouse, looked inside, and found a HUGE pile of maybe 100 eggs underneath the nest boxes.
Stupid hens.... stupid me.
We did too in the 90s. Probably for about 10 years. We always gave the eggs to co-workers and friends. Same as you, one spring we thought they weren't laying and couldn't figure out why. We found a couple dozen between the oil tank and the house

That's crazy. I get 18 Vital Farms pasture raised eggs for $8 at Target.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Don't even get started on bacon and those 1lb sausage roll prices.

The price seems to changing rapidly anymore and varies widely.
I just came back from the grocery store and Oscar Meyer bacon was $7/lb. On Mondays Fresh Market has their butcher bacon 2 lbs for $8. And I just got my notice that $3.99/lb ground chuck and boneless chicken breast Tuesday is back to being $2.99/lb.
We're seeing gas go down as well, so I'm curious why Maryland isn't seeing the price corrections.
Theres' probably a hidden 20% premium kickback to the ####bag Democrats in Annapolis.

No...Coleman's...
I'm eating eggs with impunity. I feel like I should start a black market for them, make some bank.
