Conundrum. Chicken wings and eggs.

[22lcidw]

The answer I believe would be that the bird flu hit the egg laying operations harder than the chickens for meat operations.

A couple of weeks ago there was a segment on FOX news show about some of the farmers that have chickens producing eggs saying that egg production dropped. and dropped in a huge way. now during parts of the year, they said it was normal. Some looked at the feed they purchase. they called the suppliers which Purina is a major player. they denied it. However, when the feed was changed the Chickens started to produce eggs again. True or not it is something different.

400 million surplus eggs and there is a shortage?


U.S. chicken producers want to do their part to bring down current soaring egg prices by selling their 400 million surplus eggs to food producers.

But first they have to convince the FDA to change the rule that prevents eggs laid by chickens in the meat industry to be used for human consumption.

So there really is not a shortage of eggs. It's all a contrived shortage.

A rule passed in 2009.

Chicken farmers say their eggs could help reduce prices

No idea. Why would anyone want to eat the wings anyway? Or the legs or thighs for that matter?

Nothing but chicken breasts or eggs get cooked in my house.

1 Chicken wings, legs, and thighs taste better than breasts

There seems to be a misconception that chicken farms are like the good old days on the family farm where McDonald would raise chickens, collecting their eggs every morning, then slaughtering them for Sunday lunch when they got too old. Today's industrial farms are much more specialized, with chickens producing eggs or meat, but not both. And this isn't even new. My Dad, 85 years old, still talks about going out before breakfast to feed the coal fired furnaces my Grandpa used to keep his chickens warm in the winter until the trucks came to take them for processing, and they didn't sell eggs.

Different breeds of chicken are better for different things.
