somewhere in America this morning, a mom had to explain to her child that they could not go on the field trip at school, because dt did not lower prices like he promised ...
No. The fact that the orange turd and his dysfunctional troop of morons in the white house have done NOTHING to control avian flu is exactly why egg prices are so high. You voted for him. Now eat your eggs and like it
Nah... The Orange One blamed all the associated Covid problems on Biden. Screw Trump, he's totally mismanaged the Bird Flu, just like he did Covid. Life ain't fair.
Exactly nobody's going to buy them anymore. And everything that they price gouge people are not going to buy and those businesses deserve to go under no bailout let them go under. People are going to lose their jobs anyway so you might as well make sure that you eat the rich on the way out
Actually by cutting funds on research, disrupting everything, withdrawaling us from the WHO, etc. etc.
All this chaos is bound to hinder our ability to fight the bird flu that is contributing to egg prices
And by his stupidity, eggs will likely get much, much higher!
The blame is well deserved !
I preemptively ordered egg white powder for cooking or baking. Works well in smoothies too. Lucked out with buying prior to the rising prices. It’s not affordable at all either way right now. Need it for my dialysis dependent child. May have to look up alternatives

Meat chickens and laying chickens are two different birds. Meat chickens can be culled at 5 to 8 weeks. Laying chickens don’t begin to produce eggs until about 22 weeks. When you kill your entire laying flock, it’s six months before production resumes.
I was thinking more like a fascist, backed by fascists. after all, who’s regime is still in COUP, while Dems R following the laws, yet Repubs say laws don’t apply now bc they can physically enforce made up orders.
Dems R the idiots, following laws, instead of reaching out 2 other countries 4 help
Trump is a lying fascist that knew his very uneducated supporters would believe anything that comes out of his mouth. He knew they'd believe he could control grocery prices. He knew his voters don't know that our economy is based on capitalism, not communism.
Anyone that hasn't gotten the memo that Trump is an unapologetic liar by now is almost beyond hope.
They live. They breath. They swallow. But they are nearly braindead.
But don't worry, the wealthiest one percent will get huge tax cuts. Trump has conned his base over and over, but he's given them permission and power to be their worst selves, and I guess for them, that's priceless.
The only thing that these egg prices is going to accomplish is that people will find an alternative to eggs for breakfast. it's a habit that would easily broken.
For the second time in a month the kitchen at our Senior living apartments have not had fresh eggs available for breakfast. They do have liquid eggs available for omelets.
chicken prices soon to follow. right now the flu virus kills laying hens but not eating hens. that won't last, it's a coronavirus and mutating is what they do.
egg prices ain't coming down till that virus runs its course -- if ever.
My wife and l live rural and grow a large garden and keep chickens amongst other things. She was at her dentist last week and brought hin a dozen eggs as a small gift. Her dentist, only half jokingly, talked about trading dental work for fresh eggs rather than billing her insurance.
They laughed but it was closer to the truth than a lot of folks would like to think. If you have a yard or access to a neighborhood pea patch now is the time to start thinking about supplementing the food you get from the grocery store. Plan ahead, the best time to prepare was last year.
the egg shortage is that the Biden Administration and the Department of Agriculture directed the MASS KILLING of more than 100 million chickens, which has led to a lack of chicken supply in this country, therefore a lack of egg supply
Did you see? From @mentallydivine.bsky.social Biden made a deal with Turkey to buy eggs from them so the US will be getting all those eggs this summer and 45 will say he brought the price down

My neighbor's got some chickens. He doesn't think I know he's got chickens. We're in a gated community for crying out loud. They're right there. I can touch them. What time do they lay these eggs?
Republicans - hacked all your private info (ID THEFT)
Democrats - In court right now to get damages for everyone (like ID theft protection & insurance) for the rest of everyones lives (5K a year @ least paid by the the criminals). Criminals pays any damages YOU suffer for 2 years
Hey mega, bird flu, have you heard of it? You're not going to hear it from Trump or his administration because he's stopping all notifications regarding health.
Odd where I live.
On 2/10 Whole Foods had no eggs at all.
On 2/15 the IGA market had a whole case full, different brands & sizes. Eggland’s Best Cage Free, large, $4.99.
He did say prices would be cheaper on day 1. But did not specify what exactly they would be cheaper than nor what day 1 he was referencing. Nothing to see here no promise broken 🙄🤪
From what I have heard, it has been small. Also, Canadian chicken farms are smaller but more numerous per population than in the US. If one farm gets affected, it has little to no effect on other farms.
Let’s also mention what is behind the increase. An uncontrolled spread of avian influenza (bird flu) that is rapidly spreading to other animals, including humans. What is the FDA, CDC, NIH, Dept of Ag under Trump/Kennedy/Musk doing about it? …crickets.
Oh wait….and all of a sudden, MAGA isn’t freaking out about it any longer! I wonder what happened to all the outrage about high egg prices before Jan 20th? MAGA if you’re trolling on here, please explain what happened, and why the change of energy? LOL
We know. That & corporate greed. We’ve been telling MAGA for almost 2yrs about bird flu & corporate greed. Of course they still blamed Biden. Now suddenly, they know it’s bird flu & economics. So why not blame Trump? We know the truth. Still want to blame Trump like they did Biden lol.
Not all due to bird flu Canada & other countries don’t have prices anywhere near yours yet we have cases of bird flu. I paid $4.40 a dozen today around the new year ours were $6
Some of your high prices are due to corporate greed
Same here in Canada. Last week I bought a dozen eggs for $3.99. Today when I went to the grocery store to buy non American products the same eggs were $4.09.
I wonder if this is gouging? Eggs are Canadian,not American. I remember a supermarket selling marked American eggs before. Some of us complained and they disappeared. Now I'm wondering with the bird flu - did they not mark them? Right to know!
Don’t forget we had the Avian bird flu under President Biden and he handled it like a President…plus there might have been a little poultry industry greed in there too
Let go my ego?🤣 "Ahahahahaahaha" Dumb ass MAGA morons can starve as far as I'm concerned. They shot themselves in their arrogant diseased brains. We tried to warn you; but you morons knew it all ? Now you're going to suffer the well deserved starvation and abuse you voted for. Enjoy unemployment?🤣
I walked away from $5.46 per dozen today. We don't actually need eggs, better to let people who do pay those prices (and not help run the price even higher.)
Trump had to know about the bird flu when he promised cheaper eggs.
So, he can't really use that as an excuse. He either knew he was not telling the truth, or he wasn't smart enough to actually look into what he was going to promise before promising it.
Wasn't ALL hostages of the Hamas supposed to be released on Saturday or all hell breaks loose?
I'd seriously like to know how the average MAGAt reacts to all the bigliest wins of their Orange Turd as we from the other side of the Big Blue rarely receive any reports about this.
Egg prices are pretty normal here in Canada. Maybe the US should join us and become some new provinces. Of course, we have a points system for immigrants, and some states may not make the cut.
The Amish preserve their eggs in lime (fruit) water. The shell is porous & the lime seals the shell to stop oxygen getting in. There is a video on YouTube.
Considering how long the Amish have been saving their eggs this way would be worth learning
Probably better of to mix the eggs and dehydrated them. Then vacuum sealer them in a glass jar. Now they are shelf stable and you dotn have to worry about room in your fridge or freezer.
This would work as long as completely dried before vacuum sealing. I had mould grow in some I made. This is why I looked for alternative ways of preserving eggs without freezing. In emergency situations cannot rely on electricity
Well. I agree but … in our system even cult members get a vote and unless they’re “challenged” they feel their world view is commonly held so they recruit more cult members … ie: voters.
I have been trying but get nowhere. My starter question is “Why are you angry with the US?” And the replies are “Because you f’ing blah blah” or “You won’t understand” or “They are trying to make my kid queer”.
I will keep trying.
Maybe try the “7 whys” technique used by toddlers everywhere. Start with “what do you will improve no that Trump has unfettered power”. No matter what they say, follow up with “why do to say that” … or similar none threatening, none judgemental way of asking them to explain. Then again, and again.
Oh Ok, I’ll spell it out for you. The “reach out to them” ship already sailed and sank and it is NOT our responsibility to keep trying to communicate with people who’ve repeatedly demonstrated their contempt for the message.
dumbfuck inbred MAGAt...."research" bird flu, hopefully someone will help you with the big words...
you ignorant fucktards are astoundingly stupid....
fuck off back to x, bitch-boi
Wow. Are you ok?
What's gotten you so angry?
Under bidens usda administration, they euthanized millions of chickens. No chickens no eggs.
I never left x.
You should maybe seek some help for your TDS. You seem to have a very strong case.
You may have missed the subtlety of my point. I’m pointing out that when egg prices were rising in 2024, Trump and his supporters were quick to point out that voters were not better off than they were before Biden. No mention of bird flu or egg-laying hens. Why should now be different?
It's a wave. Biden started it.
This is a big country. We can't turn it around on a dime.
Egg layers will recover and production will rise.
Biden killed flocks of perfectly fine birds. Zero reason to euthanize them.
There has been bird flu since the beginning of time. Biden politicized it imo.
Hardly good enough…if Americans were ok with him killing hundreds of thousands of them because of his lies and incompetence last time, we still have a long long way to go!
Okay, you're right, but you know what?In this world of azzhol GIVE THE EGGS AWAY until this crisis is over.. The chickens will have more eggs.. Take a loss for the team.. And the government will act, right, they would financially supplement the farmers.. BUT THEY TOO BUSY STEALING OUR MONEY😳
Oh Donnie doesn’t care about you. He’s too busy stealing all your money before his time is up. It’s just simple supply and demand. Even the perception that eggs are fewer will affect the price. You’re right, the government should be stepping in. The issue is, you don’t have a real president
lol millions of chickens are being culled as we speak and your fearless leader is disbanding the agencies that look into and control these things. It’s the facts. It’s what’s happening. This has been coming for months.
Fair enough. I don’t doubt some suppliers will use this to make more profit, but if the farm loses thousands of chickens, I don’t see them making up the profit this way.
Don't you wish you had a supply management system like we do in Canada that monitors stuff like this and acts quickly to deal with outbreaks. BTW eggs where we live running at USD 2.80/DOZ.
Saw where a local bakery purchased extra eggs before prices went up. He's freezing them. I've never done it, but he seems to be ok. I might try it to see for myself.
I slightly scramble them before freezing in a muffin cup and have had no problems. The yolk doesn’t hold up well so you either have to scramble or salt them. I still didn’t like how the yolk cooked on the whole version though.
The incompetent Trump will not even consider providing federally funded vaccines for the poultry industry. H5N1 vaccines have already been licensed and millions are in national stockpile. Other countries like France have been successful...but not the US!🙄
How do you freeze them? Serious question. I've had eggs freeze in the fridge if they are in a spot that is too cold. We just moved them and used them when they defrosted. Is that all there is to it?
Out of shell. Little salt on top if left whole. (large ice tray works) I usually whip 4 together at a time (no salt necessary) and put them in little baggies. Most recipes call for four eggs. Just make sure to label them how many there are. Defrost in fridge overnight. You can also sep yolks/whites
Birds are continuing to die, and chicken, duck, and other flocks, cows, cats, dolphins, otters, porpoises, and predators are also dying. Of bird flu! When will it make the leap into people? Trump and RFK Jr. need to STOP IT NOW.
It wasn’t egg prices. That was a stupid excuse used by stupid people to justify their stupid hatred and resentment of people different from themselves.
They’ll still be defending Trump as they drown because of him.
Rebâtir un poulailler prends plusieurs semaines, vous en avez pour plus ou moins 50 semaines avant tout revienne à la normale si la grippe aviaire se dissipe
Factory farming accelerates the spread of avian flu and other highly contagious animal diseases. We need to change the way we do things here, but it's not going to happen under the current autocrat and his administration. Inhumane animal husbandry practices always have negative consequences.
The way our country treats the animals they intend to be used for food is disgusting.
The way our country treats other animals is frequently no better. (still raising fighting birds, training pit bulls to kill other pit bulls, not prohibiting animal abusers from owning more animals, etc).
What is amazing is the extremely low number of MAGAs screaming about this. If the price of eggs had skyrocketed under Biden's watch, they would be screaming.
But yet, here we are. Record high prices for eggs, and no MAGA riots in the streets.
I'm beginning to think it wasn't about the economy.
It was to some voters- or at least the perception of it. Trump gave is people to blame for all of our troubles. So much for the Republican belief in self-reliance.

But anyone who thinks it is the only cause of high egg prices and has nothing to do with corporate greed is fooling themselves
FAFO!

The blame is well deserved !
Egg on your faces.
Where’s DOGE?

Did not purchase!
Some grocers are selling eggs at the register for $1 each (single).

“In the meantime, they’re making record profits.”

That's why there are still some stores selling at the same pre-bird-flu prices of other stores.
They got busted last bird flu doing the same thing, and brought it back down after someone threatened a price fixing investigation.
You can tell its having an effect because even at the high price many of them have poor shells.
Can get 15 dozen cage eggs for $US31.50.
🇦🇺
Some of your high prices are due to corporate greed
Biden needs to do something to lower the price of eggs!!!
And other countries will tell trump to piss off when he tries to import them… or add huge tariffs to them
So, he can't really use that as an excuse. He either knew he was not telling the truth, or he wasn't smart enough to actually look into what he was going to promise before promising it.
Neither is a good look. But I suspect both.
