Eggs are around $5 a dozen in the stores around here.

My wife sells our free range eggs for $4 a dozen faster than the hens can lay them.

haven't bought any for 20 years, get all the double yolk organic eggs I want for free

I wonder if I could write off the amount of eggs my wife "donates" to family and friends?

Definitely operating at a loss on her egg production facility

The Trump administration is importing millions of eggs from Turkey and South Korea, with other countries likely to be contributing in the coming weeks, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Friday.

“We are talking in the hundreds of millions of eggs for the short term. So not insignificant, but significant enough to help continue to bring the prices down for right now,” she continued. “And then when our chicken populations are repopulated, and we’ve got a full egg-laying industry going again, hopefully in a couple of months, we then shift back to our internal egg-layers and moving those eggs out onto the shelf.”

The Trump administration has been working to rein in egg prices, which skyrocketed in recent months amid concerns about the spread of avian flu. Concerns about the virus forced farmers to slaughter millions of chickens, leading to a shortage of eggs and a spike in prices.

A projection from the Department of Agriculture published last month signaled that egg prices could increase 41 percent in 2025.

Finding ways to keep the avian flu away from the hatcheries for chicks and pullets is key as well. There have been losses in those areas as well. We are about 40-50 million laying hens short of what we should have to meet our demand at a reasonable cost.

My buddy is in the egg business. He has 1.25 million birds. I know a couple years ago they wanted him to double the amount. Sure wished I could get some from him. No humans touch the eggs . It is all free range inside the buildings. Semi loads of eggs and food along with manure up and down the road every day. The workers are required to shower in the dressing room then switch to his uniforms and repeat that at the end of their shift. If they are around any fowl they must take 48 hours off before returning to work.
If i recall correctly 1/4 of the birds are replaced every 4 months .
When built the air handling equipment alone was over a million $.
We are in ohio and I think his eggs are trucked to Iowa. All are used in the liquid form like egg beaters or McDonald's.
