Good time to switch to free range local.

snootyvonb.bsky.social•40 days ago

Forget about the price of eggs, they’ll just let bird flu go completely unchecked and unreported. 😡

jillaroo2020.bsky.social•40 days ago

Trump is likely going to start his next presidency as he ended the last one - with a pandemic he is wholly unfit to manage.

yasminec.bsky.social•40 days ago

I cant wait for the meltdown and im also happy I did a large grocery order that including 3 dozen eggs today lol.

roachmotel6.bsky.social•40 days ago

Ok now I bet it's gonna take a day for them, to blame the dems & DEI for this. Wait I got it was a woke chicken 🥴.

boomer-michael.bsky.social•40 days ago

Too many Americans chickened out of voting properly and ended up with eggs on their faces.

thatgenxwidower.bsky.social•40 days ago

Looks like a great time for Canada to put an export quota on eggs.

Yep! Yee haw!

If there are any remaining Republican house members or senators with living consciences, STAND UP and switch.

They did not "die"¡ they were killed, most likely gas chamber style with very few of them actually infected. Policy is to KILL EVERY THING but only test a few.

duckduckalpaca.bsky.social•40 days ago

UGH, these people are on bluesky now too? Can't you stay on facebook?

ron49rich.bsky.social•40 days ago

lol, left fb years ago after dealing with uninformed & complacent voters that elected this idiot the first time.

ron49rich.bsky.social•40 days ago

Mass murder of flocks without testing is standard procedure in these cases. 1 animal tests positive and every bird within X miles are killed without tests. Be informed on agricultural policy, don't be mislead by poorly informed headlines.

Better science is the key successful control.

duckduckalpaca.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yes, they do put down the entire flock because it's HP!3 flocks in my county were hit back in 2022, with luckily only 100 birds being lost. They didn't go to the surrounding farms and kill their birds too. I'm not reading headlines and I literally pull the APHIS data weekly to watch the progression.

ron49rich.bsky.social•40 days ago

Say goodbye to your ducks if the guy across town is unlucky. We had to fight to get our birds tested and not destroyed in Ga. I watched dump truck after dump truck hauling dead birds to landfill once in Ms. Hope you really never have to witness that. Best of luck

harshtake.bsky.social•40 days ago

And what’s your solution here?

ron49rich.bsky.social•40 days ago

Truth of actions taken, testing, testing, testing

joled16.bsky.social•40 days ago

How can consumers be sure that unscrupulous actors are not selling the "killed" birds?

ron49rich.bsky.social•40 days ago

Great question! Wish I had a great answer, guess we just have to "trust them" to dispose of them safely.

radicalkins.bsky.social•39 days ago

Egg laying birds generally have tougher meat and far less meat as well. According to what I just read.

jasonemry.bsky.social•40 days ago

technically if there are no eggs available then the price for eggs is $0. checkmate, libs.

sethabramson.bsky.social•40 days ago

lol, true

wilhelmusjanus.bsky.social•40 days ago

I guess there won't be tariffs on European eggs soon then?

Side-note: until not that long ago, China imported chicks & chicken(meat), but hardly mass-produced their own.
(eggs not sure)

(I do dig their habit of putting 'fresh' chicken-head in/on the soup.....:))

(but like eating their claws more)

thandrie.bsky.social•40 days ago

I had to look up HPAI, which literally is their intent =/

mfbrodie.bsky.social•40 days ago

This has been simmering as a problem for a while.

Pandemics happen when circumstances - from weather to more - are just right. Sadly, we will approach this soon.

jeffhin07.bsky.social•40 days ago

let's stop this silly dialogue about egg prices. it was never about that. it was always about hate and skin color. The Dems failed at making the economy a strong point for electing Harris. Stop with the eggs.

tinydancerz.bsky.social•40 days ago

An 18pack has just gone from $9 to 18.99 in Northern California. I guess I won’t be eating eggs for a while.

bryantreyes.bsky.social•40 days ago

Paid $7 for 24 pack at Costco in NorCal last week. Where are you all shopping?

tinydancerz.bsky.social•40 days ago

I personally shop at my local grocery store, and do pay a little more to shop locally and support our small businesses/ farms. Regardless, try Costco again this week/ weekend. Guaranteed the price has doubled.
I hope I’m wrong 🌱

kdoubleu.bsky.social•40 days ago

Our Costco had no eggs today. They had a sign at the entrance to the cooler.

bryantreyes.bsky.social•40 days ago

Tump will fix that Monday, watch..

bryantreyes.bsky.social•40 days ago

As I suspected not just basic eggs as your post alluded. Obviously why they are more. Thanks for coming clean. I will check tomorrow and report back with a picture, doubtful they have doubled.

tinydancerz.bsky.social•40 days ago

Being that I’ve spent most of my adult life in Petaluma, Sonoma County, once known as the chicken capital, these eggs are indeed considered ‘basic eggs’. All good sir, I was just commenting on the Seth’s post. Not here to debate over a few bucks.

bryantreyes.bsky.social•40 days ago

Agreed. Love those areas and wish you the best. I guess I’m just over hearing about the price of eggs that helped elect a criminal. No harm intended.

sloth-n-cheetah.bsky.social•40 days ago

Safeway. Small upscale local chain grocery. It’s just me and my husband, buying in bulk is too much.

bryantreyes.bsky.social•40 days ago

But if it’s cheaper 🤷‍♂️

sloth-n-cheetah.bsky.social•40 days ago

I’d rather pay a bit more for less than buy too much and end up throwing it out or composting it. I HATE wasting food.

tinydancerz.bsky.social•40 days ago

Not to mention food waste is a primary contributor to methane emissions.. wise choices indeed!

bryantreyes.bsky.social•40 days ago

Understandable. It’s a choice. You choose to pay more. No need to complain if it’s personal choice.

citizen12345.bsky.social•40 days ago

Last week I saw 20 eggs for $18 or so in SoCal

robinembee.bsky.social•40 days ago

So, does this mean mtg is imposing a lockdown on chickens? While I agree… 🤔 I thought she hated lockdowns

auntie-grizelda.bsky.social•40 days ago

I do hate to whine about small things in light of the horrors ahead. But I *just* learned after 60+ years on this planet how to BAKE eggs, in a silicone whoopie-pie pan, and it's hugely convenient and delicious... and now we're looking at eggs being a goddamned LUXURY.

wilhelmusjanus.bsky.social•40 days ago

Microwave, in a squarish ceramic butter container:

- 1 egg
- 1/2 onion sliced
- 1/4 bulb of garlic sliced
- Spices, of any darn inclination, notably including curry stirfry wok sauces, also ginger (fresh or prebaked)

Put lid on.

9 minutes on low heat (180-200W)

Nice sandwich-sized egg omelett.

sepsssa1.bsky.social•40 days ago

A dozen eggs are ranging between $9 and $15 at my neighborhood grocery store. Not holding my breath for any decreases anytime soon

artsyfartsy47.bsky.social•40 days ago

Today I paid $10.99 for a flat of 18 white eggs. This reminds me of the TP shortage during the pandemic.

muad-lib.bsky.social•40 days ago

West coast has been hammered for a while now, expensive *when* you can find them on the shelves.

sloth-n-cheetah.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yep, I just paid $15 for a dozen eggs. I eat almost exclusively poultry and so do my cats. Were all fucked.

debsypud.bsky.social•40 days ago

Sadly (very sadly) those who voted for Trump are unaware of how dirty & damaging animal agriculture is to the planet & to health, being a major contributor as it is to problems like global warming, pollution, antibiotics resistance, pandemics, health problems- not to mention the unspeakable cruelty.

wilhelmusjanus.bsky.social•40 days ago

It's more like the US agri olicharchs want & get less & less restrictions on dirt/hygiene, pharma, checks & balances.

OTOH, also check foreign/Chines take-overs in that sector.

cinnamonalice.bsky.social•40 days ago

Very interesting..and dangerous.

michaelblurry.bsky.social•40 days ago

TIL that Georgia has poultry shows, exhibitions and swaps.

vegantankgrrrl.bsky.social•40 days ago

vegans right now

radicalkins.bsky.social•39 days ago

Until they need their next vaccine.

vegantankgrrrl.bsky.social•39 days ago

depends which one. flu/MMR are egg-based but covid is not

spaz64.bsky.social•40 days ago

I’ve definitely seen prices go up in the last couple of weeks…and crickets with the Felon and his sycophants about prices of groceries and how they’ll bring them down. Not even concepts of a plan.

reverendmred.bsky.social•40 days ago

Already suffering.

Can't get an adult Dengue vaccine in #US & vaccine manufacturers pulled all their #FDA approval applications.

If H5N1 finally (after decades) breaks through under #Trump & #RFKjr, we are totally fucked.

oregonmelody.bsky.social•40 days ago

And just like that, overnight people won’t give a damn about the price of eggs. Nothing they say is real.

thatdale.bsky.social•40 days ago

Northwest GA is also home to thousands of undocumented migrant workers in the chicken processing plants. It is represented by Andrew Clyde (R-GA9). You will have noticed that it has not been targeted for mass deportation raids next Tuesday. Neither has GA-14 (MT Greene) and its carpet factories.

thatdale.bsky.social•40 days ago

And of course I meant northeast GA. I blame the flu.

faith13.bsky.social•40 days ago

ron49rich.bsky.social•40 days ago

lyndawoolard.bsky.social•39 days ago

Culled. When there is a vaccine available.

ron49rich.bsky.social•39 days ago

Culled? Just another fancy word for killed. Some of those flocks probably were not infected but within someone's black magic marker circling where there was a case.

lyndawoolard.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yep.

dmzoutis.bsky.social•40 days ago

Elections matter. Eggs are the base of all things lovely. Let Maga eat (very expensive) cakes!

mikusa.bsky.social•40 days ago

The price can’t increase if there is ZERO supply so there’s that. I remember them powdered egg substitutes. Just add rum on the side

just-metoo.bsky.social•40 days ago

Maybe trump could name some special ambassadors to chicken coops, like the ones for Hollywood, to solve this. Colonel Sanders & Frank Perdue are possibilities. Oh. Sorry, they're dead.

owlcatjewelry.bsky.social•40 days ago

His good pal Colonel Sanders but Trump actually means the drawing on the KFC sign.

mtnmystic.bsky.social•40 days ago

I’m in Georgia and paid $5.99 for a dozen extra large. MAGA won’t be happy about these egg prices.

kdoubleu.bsky.social•40 days ago

I paid $7.29 at Safeway in Western WA yesterday.

mtnmystic.bsky.social•40 days ago

This problem doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. Guess we’ll have to fall back on Depression and WWII recipes.

vivianplee.bsky.social•40 days ago

I'm gonna laugh my ass off come next thanksgiving when white people are in tears over no turkeys because the avian flu pandemic exploded

wilhelmusjanus.bsky.social•40 days ago

Avian flu is about to explode because a bunch of imbeciles are about to take over and on top of that he's going to round up and deport all the people who work in the egg and poultry plants 🤦🏻‍♀️

tinydancerz.bsky.social•40 days ago

100% 🎯

wilhelmusjanus.bsky.social•40 days ago

Nothing wrong with the luring concept of egg-riots & egg-revolt.

I mean, the Russians in 1917 did it also for vodka.
(one of the leaders was an prohibishonist doctor, and at some point in time, 2/3rd of RU state budget was funded by alcohol tax)

infamoustwit.bsky.social•40 days ago

We're going to condition Federal Aid to Georgia now too, right? Right ?!?

stickywicket58.bsky.social•40 days ago

By mitigating, I'm certain they mean culling entire commercial flocks. I know we've been suffering it in Texas among backyard flocks, and that's the answer: when detected, the entire flock is put down. This is driving the cost of eggs up. Ouch.

crabby-phatty.bsky.social•40 days ago

I was eating a lot of eggs for a couple weeks, more than is surely medically advisable, but I'm prepared for the egg shortages now.

wilhelmusjanus.bsky.social•40 days ago

Boiled they last a long time.

In Western NC, my local supers have had 0 eggs for a couple of weeks. Nada. Zip. Zilch. No supply for any amount of money.

shepherdintraining.bsky.social•39 days ago

The virus was detected in meat chickens.

deerwatcher.bsky.social•40 days ago

to stop it, you have to stop ALL of the Wild Birds, in the State.

spaceorcats.bsky.social•40 days ago

Good thing I hate eggs & use substitutes in cooking. Chicken is mid & I won't miss it.

spaceorcats.bsky.social•40 days ago

My neighbor's chickens keep coming in my yard. I am suspicious they are buddy buddy with RFK Jr and shoo them away.

greenmamalama.bsky.social•39 days ago

carloszenteno.bsky.social•40 days ago

Price of eggs is going to be Biden's fault.

Gaza ceasefire agreement is going to be Drumpf's achievement.

You'll see...

billybennight.bsky.social•40 days ago

A dozen eggs are $8.99 at Food 4 Less and $9.99 at Ralph's. Both are Kroger stores.

medru.bsky.social•40 days ago

I have to go soon. Dang.

medru.bsky.social•40 days ago

What could possibly go wrong. Trump loves "herd immunity"

medru.bsky.social•40 days ago

Everyone eats eggs in Georgia. My brother did.

nick-higgins.bsky.social•40 days ago

Do we want to know how they’re going to euthanise all those chickens?
We should.
This knowledge should be part of the consumption of chicken.
Same for ALL meat. How is it kept, and how is it killed?
