Egg company sees 718% profit surge as prices soar

[Smokin Joe]

Buying local eggs around here is much cheaper.  They come in an open flat though and you have to buy 3 or 4 dozen at a time -- we just don't eat that many eggs .... and getting the open flat home without breaking any eggs would be tricky.  So, I've been paying the higher prices.

Use the first open flat as a lid for the second...

And they just pay the birds chicken feed.

The mainstream financial news is just as bad as their regular brethren.  Watch the coverage and how they slant the news  if you are Oil, Chemical, Tobacco, Meat, or any other industry that doesn't fit just right in with the Green Agenda.

I watch 'em all, and FBN is about the only one without the ESG bullshit slant.

Cue Bernie S. & Liz W.: "It's time we put an end to price gouging by Big Egg!! We hereby propose new taxes on these outrageous profits, with all funds going to help the Farm Workers union organize these poultry sweat shops!"

I would expect Noisome and the socialists in California to do exactly that ala 'Big Oil'.

And Robert Reich: "Inflation isn't causing higher prices. It's corporate greed!"

Getting some chickens here in a few weeks... what do I expect... probable some stray dog will get him a live chicken dinner and I will have egg on my face.

My chickens are quite entertaining!  Fresh yard eggs have a protective coating to keep them fresh.  Wash only before using them except in extreme cases.  Supplement your feed bill with some food scraps.  You'll have to look up the best kind, a few are corn, peas, beans, cantaloupe seeds.
