You can get them for 5.25 farm direct here, multi colored and not uniform size but they are eggs. They taste the same. Had chickens for a bit but they are noisy, smelly and bring a shit ton of small predators around.
Our son has worked at Costco's corporate headquarters for almost 25 years, and believe me, they are doing the best they can. Remember, Costco works on 9% markup, so they have to do something besides rationing what people buy.Major food retailers have begun rationing eggs as the wholesale price of eggs reached an all time high price of over eight dollars a dozen this past week. The rise in egg prices were a primary driver as inflation rose to an annualized rate of three percent in January.
Last September, then-VP candidate JD Vance clutched his pearls in front of a case of eggs in a supermarket, moaning about the then-price of 3.82 per dozen. Current average pricing is now 4.95 per dozen and climbing.
Fifteen percent of the entire egg-laying stock of chickens in the United States have been destroyed in an attempt to stop the spread of the avian H2N1 virus.
A clueless neophyte chicken farmer in Minnesota was overheard yelling "what is the big deal? It just the flu! IT JUST THE FLU!"
I went grocery shopping recently and saw my first rationing sign: "Limit of five dozen eggs per customer per day"....my immediate thought was "who the fuck eats five dozen eggs per day?". I mean, don't places like nursing homes have contracts with food service providers?
Good morning, Lace.
Oh so you admit prices are higher in the US for beef, why's that?
I don't raise beef. In fact the only time I have any is out at a restaurant. My meat is mostly deer, partridge,chicken ( not raised by me anymore, but free ranged, private) fish rabbit or moose, which would cost me maybe $1.50 a pound. (deer feed,ammo, little bit of gas)
I try and hang the deer or moose for 7-10 days before butchering, but that can change due to weather.
Hmmmmm..... good for you food wise.....yes cattle prices are fairly good for calves and pairs at the sale barn, I winter over my calf crop because the spring market has always treated me well. With hay prices reasonable and fuel at 3 dollars a gallon a individual can make a few coins.... I've been doing some thought on buying a couple of pots of feeder calves then running them through a feed lot, but that's a rich man's game..... I've got a little extra coin and want/need to put it to work.......anyway thanks for the response......
How many millions of chickens did Biden kill? The slaughter was a parting gift to the American people.Major food retailers have begun rationing eggs as the wholesale price of eggs reached an all time high price of over eight dollars a dozen this past week.

The chickens in the media and on the left don't lay eggs.
The slaughter was to save the uninfected chickens. But hey Canada has all the birds and eggs you could ever want. Maybe that's why Trump is so desperate....no chickens, no eggs n he's fucked..*chuckles*
I'm laughing....I do stuff like that all the time. Just waiting for a prime opportunity to take a swing at a hanging curveball.
Thanks for the kind words. But I’m actually not an off the grid type. Just like some self sufficiency. My main home is just outside of Denver. Have the farmlette ( mini farm for the retarded) in the bitterroot valley in Montana and a cabin in the mountains of Colorado. I grew up hunting and fishing and some minor ranching ( couple head and other livestock) so I just kind of dig it tbh. My wife loves the gardening part. So we’re a good match. She actually does the majority of the watering and weeding but we pay some folks to help fertilize, till and plant. Some years we get a ton of food we share with local food banks. Other years not a lot. Last year’s potato crop was ridiculous. I think in total we have about .75 acres planted. Corn isn’t for us. Dry it and feed it to livestock, except the pigs we just give them free rein of the corn field after it’s been harvested.I'm laughing....I do stuff like that all the time.

Rockymtnman is an okay guy, I think he's one of the legit "off the grid" types (unlike the foppish glibertarians who claim to live "off the grid" but squeal like pigs when the Walmart runs out of bottled water).
See post #42.
Araucanas I suspect? Had Reds myself, but as you said already about the mess and predators...
Yep. Good layers and hardy but the smell and mess was tough.
Easier to just buy free range eggs around here. By the time you pay for the mash, add in the cleaning/collecting. I'll pay the extra buck....
Nothing like a pop math quiz to ruin a perfectly good political rant thread.
