We're paying about $13.00 per 50 lb. bag right now.

Saw them at Safeway today, $8.99 a dozen for aa large

In the grocery stores around here eggs are running at $8 a dozen or higher.

Eggs made the local and national news last night. Predictions of $10 a dozen before it's over

Competition for eggs really raising prices or just greedy scalping?
Somehow I think a little of both.
Bird flu making lower production but.....
plenty on the shelves here, just skyrocketing prices.

our stupid state passed a law only cage free, can be sold here, store is empty

I read in the WSJ that bird flu is expected to increase with the spring migration of birds, and that will continue to hurt egg production.
Seeing the good looking homegrown egg pictures being posted here, I am thinking to get a few chicks for my backyard again.

Down here in Midland they got expensive and scarce for a week or so. Now its halfway back to normal. Couple stores have them for under $3

Still not $0.99/doz, but sure not as bad as it could be.

If I lived in the country, I'd sure have some layers. I buy brown eggs from my coworker and my sister.

wonder how many incubaters are running this could be interesting 3 dollar give or take coon or 10 dollar day old chicksj

I'm thinking every hatchery is running full throttle and then some. Farms that raise pullets don't have the capacity to cover it, so empty layer barns put to use. Will take 4 to 6 months if they start today before production starts ramping up. And then the other shoe drops...........all that production hits and the market crashes.

And they better hope nothing happens to the hatchery breeding stock.

If you don't mind eating layer stock roosters, corn and beans, and thus feed is pretty cheap right now.

I eat Beaver Eggs

3rd year of bird flu and already talking about more this spring it might take longer than you think beaver is all right but i like eggs and fried chicken to

Ahhhhhh! What does it taste like?

I'll eat pheasants and ducks, first it was potash now chickens and eggs amazing what I can do without.

I make my own fed for about $15 for 300 lbs.
Same price here in Central IL. Chickens starting ay good again just last week. Going to hatch out more chicks this spring to get more layers. Got two new batches just starting to lay last week.

I just got offered the price of $1.50 each for sexed pullets, if I take 1000 or more. That's much higher than I've ever paid for them before, but it's a good deal for this year. The catch is I have to pick them up by Thursday and I don't think I can get everything ready by then.

They are high priced around here but not as high as some of you guys are paying.

Walmart in SE Lincoln has the following listed:

$3 a dozen from a local seller. Fortunate to have a relationship with them as demand has doubled the last few weeks.

$3.54 per doz on an 18 pack, local Lidle market yesterday...

We've got 11 hens. Two of them decided that the middle of winter would be a good time to molt, so they're looking pretty terrible right now, but they're surviving the cold. We're getting 3-6 eggs a day right now.

thinking about selling 20 dollar coon and throwing a free dozen eggs in
