Let me preface this post by saying I know zero about chickens. I get most of my eggs froam a family member who has chickens. However, I buy from the grocery store when I can't get them elsewhere and the prices are sky high here. The cheapest I have seen last week was $3.99 a dozen. That was for organic eggs, which are now cheaper than regular eggs, which makes no sense.
I stumbled across this article and I have been wondering the same thing........Why? Why is the price of eggs so high? I don't buy the narrative about avian flu. It seemed a while back that there was an avain flu (pre Covid) going around that was much worse than this one and it didn't spike egg prices. Although, it did cause chicken prices to rise somewhat. This time around, the egg prices skyrocketed, but chicken prices remained relatively constant. So, that doesn't really make sense to me. I'm left wondering what's really going on?
My thoughts were that egg prices should be one of those things that remain fairly low, considering that many people have their own chickens. Around here, that is becoming more and more common too. I have been considering getting a few of them myself, but just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. I'm thinking farm stores will be inundated with orders on chicks this spring b/c I'm sure many people are thinking of doing the same thing.
This article is clearly an advertisement for powdered eggs, but there is some interesting tid bits in there as well. Toward the end, it mentioned that this could be tied to Bill Gates and his fertilizers and interests in making faux eggs. That wouldn't surprise me one bit. However, it could very well backfire on him if more people get their own chickens and produce their own eggs. I hope this happens. Still, I'm interested in hearing others thoughts on this situation.......
