2. Amazing how avian flu affects egg prices but not chicken wings.

[Maru Kitteh]

3. Or pet food.

[SheltieLover]

6. Great point!

[IronLionZion]

22. Here's an NPR link to explain the difference. It has to do with their lifecycles.

And let's face the fact that we eat chickens that have had flu. It's safe to eat them if cooked correctly.

https://www.npr.org/2025/02/07/nx-s1-5270835/super-bowl-egg-prices-chicken-wings

The reason chicken and egg prices have not moved in tandem has to do with the very different toll that avian flu has taken on birds that produce eggs — and those raised for their meat.

Nationwide, egg farmers lost more than 38 million birds to the flu last year — nearly 14 million in December alone. That's put a crack in the nation's egg supply, which shows no sign of easing. When a flock of egg-laying hens is wiped out, it takes six months to a year to recover.

"Egg farmers are in the fight of their lives to keep this disease at bay, to keep our hens safe and to keep eggs coming," says Sam Krouse, a farmer who oversees a flock of 14 million laying hens in Indiana, Illinois, Texas and Georgia. "We know it's frustrating for consumers who want to go and buy eggs at the prices they've been used to."

But chicken wings are a different matter
Chickens raised for meat — known as "broilers" — live on different farms than those that produce eggs. And while broilers are not immune from avian flu, they haven't been hit nearly as hard as their egg-laying cousins.

"They're younger typically, and older birds are more susceptible to the virus," says Tom Super of the National Chicken Council. "And broiler chickens are also not on the farm as long — only about seven weeks."

38. Super Chicken!

[Hellbound Hellhound]

35. 99% of what we eat has had parasites, fungus or sickness of some kind or another.

Never quite understood the squeamishness. If you've eaten fish, you've eaten parasites, dead or alive. Eat pork? Parasites. Beef? Twelve sorts of flu! Carrots? Hope you like fungus. Potato? Enjoy every pathogen under the sun! Rice? Enjoy the molds.

But now that chickens get sick, people lose their goddam minds.

[IronLionZion]

37. I get nervous about raw or undercooked foods

I prefer to cook it myself to make sure everything is dead. Not steak of course, but I will cook ground beef until there's no pink. I use a meat thermometer for pork and chicken. I eyeball it for fish and vegetables.

[Omnipresent]

41. But we are parasites!

“We are what we eat”.

[Hellbound Hellhound]

43. No argument here, brudda/sista! n/t

[displaced in ID]

28. chickens and eggs

You can still eat a dead chicken, but they don't lay eggs. Now, with the rollbacks in silly regulations.....like the one stating that food has to be safe to consume......we can expect more of this. Viruses won't survive cooking, but you still have to be careful handling the raw bird.

4. Here in Upstate NY, eggs are sitting at 2.99 a dozen, less at indie farm stores.

I'm not giving Trump credit by any stretch, but more people are getting into the industry and they're trying to stay competitive, so prices have been lowering. We just bought two dozen last week, should keep us set for a month or two.

Say what you will about the free market, but sometimes, it does work. And prices have been lowering across the board; Ham, chicken, and turkey specifically. Beef is still pretty high, but it's dropped $1.50 a pound in the past few months.


I honestly don't entirely know what's going on to affect the prices these ways, but my monthly grocery bill went from about $400 to $300. So SOMETHING noticeable is happening.

[Meowmee]

7. On LI prices are not lowering at all, many have gone up.

[Hellbound Hellhound]

8. To be fair, that's LI. New York City may as well be a different country, mate. :P n/t

[Meowmee]

10. I was pointing out that whatever is happening upstate

is not happening on LI. I am not sure about NYC.. LI is not part of NYC/Manhattan, but that is a huge part of NY as well. 😁

[Hellbound Hellhound]

12. Eh, y'all are cityfolk to us Upstaters. :P Anything south of Albany is NYC.

I'm kidding of course, and I'm sorry your prices have been going up. Seems prices are shifting to a competitive rural economy and a predatory Urban economy. We get the benefits, you eat the costs.

[Meowmee]

13. Yes I think it has always been that way, cheaper upstate for most things 😁

[Hellbound Hellhound]

15. It's all good, you get the governing power and control of the state, we get the cheap goods.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. /thanos

[Meowmee]

16. I wouldn't mind the cheaper goods too 😹

[Hellbound Hellhound]

17. If we gotta drive four hours for Broadway, you can drive four hours for Asparagus. XD n/t

[LoveMyCali]

18. I'm about an hour north of Albany

I haven't noticed prices dropping and I think eggs are about $5.99 for a dozen large eggs. I'm not sure about the price of eggs because I have a friend with chickens and ducks and I get my eggs from her.

[Hellbound Hellhound]

19. I shop around, but even in Wal Mart Eggs are sitting at 3 bucks here.

Buy in bulk get HEAVY discounts. Like 15 bucks for ... eight dozen I think? Gods knows I'd never use that many eggs though so I haven't really eyeballed those prices.

[bronxiteforever]

31. Same here in PA. 6.99 a dozen yesterday.

[Johnny2X2X]

5. Every Friday late afternoon

My wife and I go to the grocery store, Meijer her in West Michigan. When we get to the eggs, I make a big show of talking loudly, "My word! Eggs are going up in price! This is insane, it's $5.50 for a dozen eggs! That's double what it was a couple years ago! What is going on? Everything is so much more expensive now than just a couple months ago!"

I get a couple looks. And I might even throw in, "What ever happened to Day 1 the prices will be lowered?"

[XanaDUer2]

9. 3 bags

$100. Did buy 4 shrimp but wasnt much money. Instant coffee jar

[Hotler]

11. Colorado Safeway, eggs-$7.99, avocado-$3.00 ea. just reporting. nt

[Hellbound Hellhound]

14. Who in their goddamn right mind pays 3 dollars for a single fruit? (Unless it's a watermelon) n/t

[rubbersole]

29. People that don't care what anything costs.

People that drive cars that cost over $100K don't worry about prices of everyday items. Just sayin'.

[Hellbound Hellhound]

34. No kidding. For a stupid fruit that tastes like the backside of a [REDACTED].

If you gave me the money to buy one out of your own pocket I wouldn't on principle alone. XD

[IronLionZion]

20. MAGA silence on this is deafening

they kept claiming that inflation was their biggest election issue. Yet one candidate consistently promised to increase prices and they voted for him.

Sure, DOGE will fix everything.
