It's just inflation. Corporate greed is a poor excuse for price increases

It's ok, though. Trump has installed a loyalist who will scrub all mention of bird flu from the USDA website. Problem solved!
Look how well it worked out at the FAA!

Just over the border in Switzerland I've got 0,79€ per egg (0,75€ in a 12 pack). But that's still cheaper than OP.

Ok thanks.
I don’t think corporate greed is a poor excuse though.
All prices in the UK have gone up by substantial amounts over the last 5 years. While at the same time these massive corporations have recorded record profits.
If the price increases were purely inflation then it would stand to reason that profits wouldn’t have gone up so much. Clearly they’ve used inflation as an excuse to squeeze consumers as much as possible.
I am talking generally here and not specifically about eggs.

What if I told you that the 3-4 corporations that control our food supply increased prices to punish voters for not voting for a Republican in 2020?

It's actually just corporate greed. The "inflation" is the excuse.

I wonder if writing that up is a full-time job. I'd love to interview chickens.

The bird flu is likely affecting all of North America. Mine is commentary on Canada vs States rxns on the price of eggs.
I can’t imagine the focus on eggs for most of 2024 didn’t impact the price hike as well.

Not necessarily better. My uni did experiments to see how far a chicken moved after being put in a free range pen, and they hardly move. Such pens are large and contain hundreds if not 1000s of chickens. (We tend to imagine free range as 15 hens in a flock, but that is miles away from the truth) Hypothesis was that since Chicken are flock animals tbey get stressed in these pens and the weaker ones now are on the outside of multiple flocks leading to more stress and feather picking as dominance never really are settles. Roomy cages with proper perches and such paradoxically might be "better" for industrially farmed chicken.

Not on food, they don’t (most places in the US, as far as I know, right?)

In any sane world, would something as specific as eggs drive politics?
Mass media is one hell of a drug. I remember the Swift Boat Veterans making the 2004 election about whether or not John Kerry faked his war wound to win a purple heart. And then there was the 1988 race, where the national news collectively shat itself over Dukakis doing a photo op in a tank (OG Tankie).
Conservative news outlets hammering every outlet with "Eggs! Too expensive! INFLATION! INFLATION! INFLATION!" stories made this a touchstone for a low of traditional media consuming voters.

Do you have any sources for this? Also the songs that mention it? I'd like to read more about this

It's less about gas and more about cars. They mandated new cars run on unleaded gas in 1975. While it was technically possible to convert a leaded car to run on unleaded gas, it wasn't done in any substantial numbers. So we had to wait for leaded cars to wear out and be replaced with new cars that ran on unleaded.
Backyard chickens depends a lot on local laws, most cities ban them just because. But if a city allows them, afaik you don't need much room.
