People need to start putting trump "I did this" stickers on everything like the magats were on gas pumps.

Nobody is mentioning this when talking about raising fowl. I've had chickens and the primary reason I'm not doing that now is because I don't want primary contact with h5n1. I don't even know if testing is available and if it is imagine it isn't cheap. Even if I made a fully enclosed pen so wild birds can't get to the food or water I'd still worry. And I want my animals to free roam.

Your maths is wrong first one should be 12/8.75 = $1.37 per egg

[rbwells@lemmy.world]

We are "uptown" for lack of a better description, not the more expensive part but quite close to downtown and do have a yard, our neighbors keep chickens and it's protected inside the city, you are allowed to raise them and the feral ones are also protected by law, you can't just take them and make Coq au Vin.

It's both.

Voila is a delivery service, not sure why they decided to pick that out of literally everywhere in the country

They are $3.60 a dozen at Costco ($2.50 USD) last time I was there

Kinda irrelevant, but get fucked Eggslut. Worst place to work for, owners are a bunch of liars and have terrible management practices. This is absolutely killing them and I love that for them.

Lots almost like the inhumane, cramped, living conditions we permit a lot of our agriculture industry to have for animals is biting us in the ass.

And before dipshits come in about how that doesn't apply to cage free chickens, etc. Of course that shit still affects overall product prices. One of the businesses along the line between the farm with the chickens and your grocery store aisle is going to raise the price anyway to gouge a little more profit from the system when they have the chance.

Meanwhile my local Costco in AZ had no eggs at all 4 days ago.

[frickineh@lemmy.world]

Yes, but then you have to live in central Wyoming, which is a trade off that's only worth it for some people

I hope Just Egg gains some new customers from all this. Really good stuff!

[nurse_robot@lemmy.world]

$12 USD to CAD is over $17, what're you talking about

[remembertheapollo_@lemmy.world]

Yeah, these are specialty farm eggs, cage free, and brown. They’re also stacked in with the organic eggs. They probably command a markup without the price increases from bird flu. This is also probably some trendier grocery store OP is shopping at.

Our “fancy” grocery store has a dozen cage free large brown eggs for $5.49, so either this is a local issue in Denver or OP is posting some BS engagement bait.

Just snapped this pic from our store’s online shopping app.

You are both posting anecdotes, essentially.

[_stranger_@lemmy.world]

I'm calling it Trump Flu, because why not.

[_stranger_@lemmy.world]

I used to buy those eggs at the bottom of the picture. They come with a newsletter inside about how the chickens are doing.

The cheap eggs now cost what those eggs used to cost.

A few thoughts on that. Unleaded started in 1975. I'd like to know when it reached 50% of the vehicles but googling doesn't give me that. Assuming 20 years for the entire fleet to turn over, that would give 1985 for 50%. I think you want 25% or less leaded cars until you don't have too much lead in the air, so that goes to about 1990. The pollution didn't end immediately at the city limits, so the burbs that would be built on the next mile or so would still be on polluted land. So I think that gets you to houses built 1995+ to even 2000+ to get to uncontaminated land (depending on how fast your city was growing).

I know around here the houses with decent backyards were built in the 70s to 80s. In the 90s the yards were getting small, and nowadays they are almost nonexistent. So the best suburbs for chickens are 80s and earlier. Which is also the contaminated land.

Last thought is that they keep saying that there is no safe level of lead exposure.
