    Publix used to have normal size rotisserie chickens. These now literally look a large Cornish game hen.

    Oh, so your only objection to name calling is when you don't agree with it? Seems hypocritical...but that is probably name calling that you don't agree with...


    In terms of his argument, it wasn't too hard to figure out. Trump set a standard of prices going down instantly. In this market, that clearly didn't happen.

    Well, I happen to know an egg/chicken farmer in rural Mississippi and he is loving the high egg prices and has been for awhile. His chickens are are killin it. :)

    Shouldnt the chickens get the money? They did all the work. Its kinda like how the horses should get the medals and money in horse events.

    My recent egg story:

    On Jan 1, a Colorado law went into effect stating that hens have to have a cage-free environment in which to lay their eggs. In the second week of Jan, I went to buy eggs at the local Walmart. They were over $9/dz. There happened to be a Walmart stocker in the area and I asked if it was really $9/dz. He said yes, but that Sam's has them cheaper. I went over to Sam's where 18 eggs were only $5.

    Just thought I'd share...

    As someone who sells to both Sam's and Wal Mart I will say that they have separate buyers, in many cases separate vendors, and Sam's can have different pack sizes. They also do not always share the same distribution faciility.

    Trump is 100% President and eggs were $4 under Biden, $6 this week under Trump.

    Inflation started right as Trump passed the economy to Biden and you guys didnt lay any blame on the fat orange guy. Guess what? Trump owns this disaster. What has he done?

    He's freaking jacked up the price of eggs, that's what he's done. Why, Mrs. Gatorjo went to buy some and they cost ........ a whole lot!!

    I'm trying to do it in a skillet, so I maybe need to just use a roasting pan.

    I actually saw a Jerk Chicken recipe that called for Cornish game hen & insta moved on, but may reconsider. In my town, I cannot find a 3-4.5 lb whole - or cut up whole that is not 6lbs+. I love making Caribbean food, esp during our cold winters. Last week I made Jamaican brown stew chicken....yum. Growing up, we ate a bunch of marsh hens that my granddad & uncles hunted in Brunswick. tasty!

    20 million killed last quarter alone and you think it is because of free range chickens in California..cult total disconnect from reality

    pivot..here's a new tiktok for you ...Biden started bird flu to drive price of eggs up to hamper donny boy..you heard it here first. Soros told him to, Hunter spread it around the country
