Eggs are 10.99 in denver.

If only there was some sort of center for disease control that could assist the American public in combating illness. Surely, if such a center did exist, the president wouldn't hamstring them in some way in which may prevent farmers from taking action against infectious diseases destroying their livestock.

Oh, would you look at that, the president did hamstring the CDC by halting regular release of their scientific reports, and so it is, in fact, on him that bird flu is causing egg prices to soar.

Must be the DEI chickens.

Groceries, the term he popularized that no one was using until he started saying it.

[hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works]

Couldn't have been, because that pompous dick Gaston eats the entire daily supply every morning to get jacked.

[splashjackson@lemmy.ca]

Chicken shit.

[sabin10@lemmy.world]

Those are fancyish eggs too. I paid $3.69 yesterday for store brand and they are often on sale for a little less. Our avian flu situation isn't as bad yet though so it can still go up.

So a dollar more than a banana

Unleaded gas became standard in the 70s. If you live in a dense city that was built 40+ years ago and eat eggs daily and are a small child, you may reach the non-recomended intake amount, barely.

Most people with a backyard big enough for chickens don't live in the urban areas that had such dense lead exposure anyways

[shalafi@lemmy.world]

That's still an obscene price.

[pivot_root@lemmy.world]

8.75/12 = $0.73 per egg.
45/60 = $0.75 per egg.

Incredible! With bulk purchasing, I can pay an extra $0.02 per egg.

[shalafi@lemmy.world]

Already started. We have a coop about ready, my wife has experience, we're semi-rural, about set. Only thing, I want them free range and I'm not sure about the wildlife.

Haven't seen a fox in ages. The local coyotes don't come in here, yet, but a massive new development is pushing them out of their comfort zone. Plenty of raptors it seems. But hell, I can afford everything but a ton of fencing, of any kind.

What to do? Just run out with the 20-gauge and start blasting at 3AM when shit goes sideways?!

I need to post on the chicken comm.

[shalafi@lemmy.world]

And about nobody is raising chickens in an urban environment.

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

There isn't a massive bovine flu killing huge swathes of flocks...

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

We have a lot of backyard chicken farms in Vancouver.

[podunk@lemmy.world]

Lets be clear. Its still bird flu. Not bovine flu. Regardless of whether cattle are getting it.

If a person gets swine flu it doesnt suddenly become human flu.

Things have names and this distinction matters.

[rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca]

That's expensive. I live out in the boonies where things cost more and my local store is $4 a dozen.

[eiri@lemmy.ca]

What the heck happened to American eggs?

[lovablesidekick@lemmy.world]

And if you are an independent egg vendor you have to submit a 1099 form with your taxes. Coincidence?

[jomiran@lemmy.ml]

I need a high resolution version so I can print some stickers.

[spikesotherdog@ani.social]

$4 a dozen in Kentucky.
