Conundrum. Chicken wings and eggs.

[hadit]

Birds infected with the flu, stop producing eggs.

That sheds no light on the discrepancy between the impact of the flu on egg-layers vs meat producers. That's what we were talking about.

My opinion is shaped by decades of eating food and deciding what I like. I spurn no food until I've tried it out enough to know if I really like or don't like it, and, as someone who cooks, am thoroughly grateful to those who prepare it. So yeah, I like dark chicken meat a lot more than the white meat.

When Will the Egg Shortage End? Experts Are Divided
This may help the discussion.

 

[strollingbones]

i wonder how long pknopp you think it takes to go from chick to laying hen?

Shortage​

 

[LordBrownTrout]

I keep hearing people are paying $4.00 or more for eggs. Where I live, they are $2.50.

I pay 6.39 a dozen but they range anywhere from 2.20 to 6.39 a dozen depending on what size, corn fed, free range etc.

 

[strollingbones]

are you buying so called organic eggs? LordBrownTrout

 

[buttercup]

Correct. Egg producers don't raise chickens for slaughter, and vice versa.

Not exactly true. Even egg laying hens are eventually sent to slaughter.... like the broiler chickens that are raised for 'meat.' The difference is the egg laying hens are sent to slaughter later than the other chickens.

Here's something for you to watch:

Lol, yeah, but I know what you're talking about. They ain't really too organic. I usually try to buy from some of the local farmers when I can.

Where do meat producing chickens come from?

 

[strollingbones]

Breeding like all things..you have heavy meat breeds..some are decent egg layers...going all the way to banties

This is the devil's world -- hopefully for just a little while longer

They come from eggs, which is why no one is saying that broiler chickens are immune from the flu, they are just less likely to catch it when the outbreak is in the egg-laying flocks that are destroyed as soon as it's discovered.

Eggs. Funny that there are shortages of eggs to consume but not eggs to hatch.

Expect that next.

I posted the links. Prices are falling for chicken meat. If what is said about eggs was true, it would have hit long ago. The average chicken raised for meat lives 40 days.
