You're being told that egg prices are because of the bird flu. It's due to lack of genetic diversity and the fact that large egg producers are jacking up prices intentionally. My proof is that they've already been sued and LOST in federal court in 2008. It was proven that from 2004 to 2008 almost every large U.S. Egg Producer engaged in price gouging. Here is a link to information about that: https://thedailyrecord.com/2023/11/27/us-egg-producers-conspired-to-fix-prices-from-2004-to-2008-federal-jury-ruled/
The part you aren't being told is that these birds within these big agricultural companies lack genetic diversity which is why they're more vulnerable to stuff like the bird flu.
Here is study all the way from 2008 that literally explains exactly what I just said. We've known this for a very long time and companies like Tyson Foods and others have ignored these warnings. The USDA had almost no oversight of breeding programs which led to this crisis.

This is why when you go on Tiktok, you'll notice the trend of smaller farmers like myself blowing the whistle. It's about time we end this charade. This was never about the bird flu because we have the bird flu every year. This disease is being promoted by the sub-standard conditions that birds are kept in within these larger operations. Also, it's the lack of genetic diversity.
You can't breed mother to son, father to daughter, repeat the cycle for GENERATIONS, and expect healthy birds. They've been doing this crap forever and now we are facing a perfect storm. I've been saying it for years and years and years because I actually took the time to do the research.
You're being lied to. That's all I gotta say. I own chickens and I own enough where it's kinda to tell me I can't notice things and especially when I've done the research.
It's one thing if I'm just saying something but when I was approached by friends who also do chicken farming, they made these claims. I looked into it. It seems to me like the problem always comes back to money, people not giving a damn, and the animals suffer in the end. But we always need a big smoke screen.
Alas, I could be wrong. I'm open to being corrected. I just gave this A LOT of thought.

Just more proof that people need to keep a couple chickens as pets and have a small garden in their backyard, in the 40s this was encouraged to help out but growing food just to do it and maybe give extra food to needy neighbors is long gone in America, anymore Americas don’t even help each other let any alone big major corperations.
Years ago, back when America was more rural and people had more land and community farms, we would not even come close to the kind of price gouging going on with food currently. Businesses knew if they charged stupid prices people would just get their own food themselves.
Biden must still be secretly running the government somehow, otherwise egg prices would be low
Get 2 chickens, look after them.
Problem solved.
They don’t want to vaccinate the egg layers because Europe doesn’t want exported eggs that had a vaccinated source.
So my question is: Why are we exporting eggs to Europe when there is a shortage in this country? Vaccinate the chickens and sell eggs to US buyers. Forget about Europe for now. Does this not make sense? What am I missing?
