More pain for Daybreak Farms, which will cull another half million birds as another one one of thier flocks has tested positive for H5N1.

That's about 3.5 million birds in a week out of their 17 million egg-laying hens. They're the 4th largest egg producer in the U S.

In local news, Giant Eagle has a $1 off sale for a dozen LG Grade A White Hillendale eggs which are at $2.99 this week. EB remains at $5.49 a dozen.

More outbreaks. 8 outbreaks in Minnesota alone since mid Sept.
More culling. We probably won't see much increase here since that's not where many of our eggs come from but we're just as the start of the fall flu season.

Hopefully this doesn't get out of hand or eggs will start going back up.

We'll have to see how this plays out. Already seeing big increases in Colorado

Straight out of the hen’s bunghole, $3 and twice as nutritious. No idea why anyone would buy lousy, overpriced eggs in a grocery store.

If they're straight from the bunghole, make sure you wash them, then.

I have two btw's for you...

1. The dozen large, grade A from Hillendale Farms is part of the Giant Eagle's new On Sale This Season program and is currently $2.99 per doz. The 18 pack is not on sale. Nothing from Egglands Best.

2. We have the same countertops

Daayyum, if my math is correct that's only a buck and a half per dozen!

Do eggs have to be free to end this stinking dead horse?

They'll still be bitching even if Hillendale and Eggland start paying US to haul away their eggs!

TDS is like that.

Not sold out at Shop and Save. Plenty on stock in Greensburg. Makes you wonder what the hell the truth is.

When both of those are reliably at or under 2.99 reg price then Trump will have finished the job.

Not looking like that's going to happen if avian flu continues to be a disruption

Out of stock as of this post. I'm sure you can find some here and there as you go into a store but you can't order for delivery or pick up

As of April, we had seen about 30 million chickens culled across 9 states.

In the past month we've seen 4 million culls, a decent chunk of which were layers.

So if this is just the beginning of avian flu season and it's early... where do you think it goes as far as lost layers by EOY?

Especially with higher tariffs than we had last year on the same places we hope to import both eggs and layers.
