I noticed that too,,,ya think maybe the guy who got his hands on the HIV medicine got a piece of the 'egg' action too?

1 hen can lay up to 300 eggs a year (in 1900, average egg production was 83 eggs per hen per year. In 2000, it was well over 300)...they generally have up to 125,000 hens at 1 laying farm, which i can't find out how many egg farms there are in the US...( 280 million hens laid 77.3 billion eggs in 2007.) so why are the eggs at 3.50 a dozen now????

they say 10% of hens were lost in 2015, due to bird flu... i don't get the over 200% price increase...

No, it's not all greed, nor is it any of the things various politicians might want you to think (such as those who want everyone to blame safety and health regulations for all price rises).

The main thing to realize, is that MATERIALS COSTS are the very LEAST part of the cost of ANY product.

uh........the roosters formed a union and went on strike for
more corn in their weekly envelopes....

ummm... roosters don't lay eggs...

Our egg prices skyrocketed a while back. They're like golden eggs now. My brother got some chickens. So we're all good now.

Obonzo...

Generally speaking, prices for all food products skyrocketed, especially during the first two years of the current administration.

yea, i grew up with chickens and fresh eggs... now that i live in the stupid city of Houston, they don't like chickens in our backyards...

My mom lives in a residential area and the neighbors chickens keep getting out. One almost walked into mom's garage. Could have had fried chicken tonight

and i thought we were having steak...

Hopefully the milk prices don't sky rocket. We'd have to get a cow!
