    I learned from you:

    It’s all the previous president’s fault.

    According to my brother who was in the chicken business, it will take a year and a half to fully rebuild the laying hen flocks. It obviously takes longer for a hen to mature to the point where they can lay eggs than it does to raise a chicken to the 4.5 pound level where they go for processing, 38-40 days.

    Repeat: if animals spread deadly viruses to humans, as many animals as necessary must be killed, egg prices to follow.

    That was $8 when Biden was President. That's almost 100% inflation in 1 week of Trump being, and that works out to 5200% inflation a year. Don't blame me, I voted for Harris.

    Wasn’t $8 here. Last time I bought eggs I paid a a little over $9 for 1.5 dozen. Today I paid $15.25 for 3 dozen at a warehouse store

    Eggs were like $3.00 a dozen, probably cheaper at warehouse stores. Trumpflation is ruining America.

    When do the Republinuts start explaining how H5 Bird Flu is affecting chickens and eggs, and how none of it is $Trump's fault? Should be any day now.
    Will they then allow the USDA, FDA, and CDC to give proper advisories to the public?

    And just an FYI, there have been outbreaks in herds of dairy cows as the virus mutates and spreads. Food supply issues, anyone?

    Brooke Rollins, the $Trump pick for Ag Secretary, says she has "a lot to learn" about bird flu. Same woman who says she will "listen and follow" farmers in implementing $Trump's immigration policy.

    The American left is so broken, lol

    Jan 13, 2025:

    U.S. egg industry sees record chicken deaths from bird flu outbreak. More than 20 million egg-laying chickens in the U.S. died last quarter under President Joe Biden, data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows, marking the worst toll inflicted on America's egg supply since the outbreak began.


    Just another Bidun mess #47 has to fix.

    Lol... The Dems blow-up and torch countless chicken farms, and then blame Trump for no eggs? The communists/Leftists never rest.

    Another reason why the Dems got shellacked.

    Really??? He has only been in office 6 days. Biden's mistakes were so terrible it will take years to fix. I do think he is getting stuff done 10x more than ol' Sleepy Joe and Harris.

    Inflation is going to be insane with this loser in charge.
