This is one of the most asinine presidents I’ve ever seen.
Why did folks vote for him, only God knows. Some complained about eggs, which by the way is $8 a dozen here. Gas has gone up, the market is flip flopping, people are on edge, rude as hell.
And don’t even get me started on Elon Musk who now has access to folks personal information.
I’m so pissed right now.
I believe in conservatism however not this s🤬 show

We have to protect America from a rigged voting system even though he won.
We have to protect America by building a wall along Mexico and have Mexico pay for it.
Really I could go on and on, but I'm trying to destress today.

It takes six months to replace a laying flock from hatch to point of lay. Sometimes five depending on the breed. Birds would have to have been hatched out and at least partially raised elsewhere in the country while they extensively cleaned up the barns or built new ones on uncontaminated areas. It is a huge undertaking and many of the smaller chicken farms never recover or go out of business in these huge slaughters. Then unless it was their own company with farms elsewhere, they would have to buy these older pullets at a higher cost than newborn chicks or hatching eggs from the safe hatcheries, so that cost will be passed on until they are back on their feet. If they buy newborns or eggs after they finish cleanup, they are that much further behind.
But the minor good news is that the natural slowing of the chickens' egg supply over winter is soon to be over as we are heading towards spring. Already the chickens are starting to pick up production in the south and in a couple more weeks we will see it in the north as we gain more daily light. So the survivors and those who were never impacted will be revving up, helping to mitigate what was lost. It will help make it not quite so crazy on the costs. But until the pullets turn into hens, the costs won't get back to normal. Or what became the new normal. Assuming they don't have another big outbreak and chicken slaughter. There were 3 during the past 4 years.
Bird flu is caused by wild birds landing on farmland and infecting chickens. You can't stop that from happening even if you are the president, Biden or Trump, so you can't blame either one for it, and the cost of eggs will sky rocket every time. They never really had any control over that. All three bird slaughters happened under Biden. We are seeing the results of the last one under Trump. But it is still not their fault. It's supply and demand, slaughter, and winter chickens. You can Thus endeth the economics of farming chickens lesson. Ee ii, ee ii, oh.
You can blame them for everything else if you want, just not eggs. I mean, you can. You'd just be wrong.
