It is not what the egg laying chickens eat that we don’t eat them but their age they can lay for 10 years and are tough. These would be stewing chickens in most countries slow cook to tenderize can you say coc ay vin.

Places like Kentucky fried chicken spec their chickens to be 2.25-2.75 lbs because they buy by the pound and sell by the piece. Maybe you have noticed the small pieces.

Grok3 sure has a lot of interesting info, but isn't great at math. A 135%+ percent increase above $2.17 would be over $5, not $4.

Bought a dozen extra large at Summerfield Walmart, yesterday......$6.12 !!!

Well, over $5 *is* over $4.

AI doesn't really do math, it just strings together words that sound correct and seem to answer the question. The three facts ($2.17, 135%+, over $4) are individually correct and even the sentence combining all three is technically correct but there was no math involved.

I’ve asked the same thing. Why aren’t roosters getting avian flu? 🧐

They are. Some may “just” be carriers of the disease.

Bird flu is also not only in the U.S., which makes me wonder how much eggs would cost if imported.

In 2022 when I was in London, the ravens were kept in their pens with tarps over the tops, in an effort to keep wild bird feces from infecting the flock

Good question and good explanations. Thanks!

Egg prices
 

Actually bird flu eggs are safe to eat if cooked. About the only way you would contract bird flu from an infected bird is if it flew in your mouth or you ingested an infected birds droppings.

What makes you think they are not?

If you are asking why the price of chicken hasn't gone up, that answer can be found a few times in the previous posts.

Biden ordered billions of chickens to be killed!

I heard it was TRILLIONS!!

One duck farm on Long Island, had to unalive 100,000 plus ducks. They are affected.

But the prices were gonna go down day #1?

When the supply increases, not going to happen in a day will it.

The government plans to address the problem by increasing imports of eggs from foreign countries. Our largest foreign source of eggs is Canada. I'm sure that Canada is eager to bend over backwards to accommodate us.
