I thought eggs were supposed to be cheaper.

I'm pretty sure that there are animal cruelty laws about this.

No, killing male chicks en masse still goes on every day, it's standard practice in the egg industry.

Some countries ARE looking into new technology that would detect the gender beforehand in order to reduce chick culling, but that isn't happening in most places.

Well I'm most definitely against that but it's really a separate issue.
 
My last farm was primarily poultry , meat birds and laying hens

At my high point i had somewhere south of 100 layers.....and let me tell you it's a chore keeping that amount of ladies happy

and i had eggs, my neighbors had eggs, anyone who visited left with eggs, and we ate eggs, and when we got sick of eggs, we had more eggs

I made the mistake of placing an 'organic eggs' ad in the local rag, subsequently having to field a lot of 'did they vote for Hillary" calls at the time.....

Locally i was know as 'Chicken Sparky' (think Chicken George of roots fame) for making town great for eggs again.....~S~
Shoulda just brought them to the local grocery store for sale instead of selling them yourself. (Cartons can be bought cheap enough when ordering a volume.).
Most local grocery stores will sell local eggs, honey, produce and etc without even thinking about it. (Meat can't be sold that way). So will some restaurants. McDonald's wont....but that doesn't mean bakeries, lunch shacks and etc won't go through plenty.

Because you are a farmer and not a retailer. Leave retailing to retailers....no, you won't make as much money but you will make enough.
 
How cattle and chickens are treated on.large corporatio s is appalling. Deplorable conditions.
That's not true.
Chickens have to be healthy to lay eggs or be used for meat production.....same with pork or beef. They won't make it through the slaughterhouse doors otherwise.

Down cattle and pork are not acceptable to processing plants. Been that way since the 90's.
 
Nope. All sleepy Joes fault. Must be.
You believed trump"s lie that somehow this was Biden's fault. Look up bird flu. Millions upon millions of laying hens have been culled because of it.

I never heard trump say any such thing. But according to the left, Presidents control viruses.

Now, I have no more fucks to give you, or the moronic left.
 
So what you are saying is we have too many people in the workforce force. I agree. When employers have to compete harder for laborers it benefits us all.
Free markets work for everyone... employer and employee and customer... some jobs are start up jobs not meant for a career...
When you tell a restaurant owner he must pay more for employee wages he has to either cut staff or quality or raise prices... I read that you said you are retired... so why don't you stay out of it and let the people with skin in the game make the calls...
Why the hell are you advocating higher wages for people you never met and companies you will never work for?... mind your own business commie...
 
You couldn't afford to eat them if it wasn't done that way.
I'd be willing to pay alot more so it's done humanely. And no, I'm not anti meat, I consume it quite a bit. But I am a believer is being humane over profits. I know, I'm a dying breed. Doing things right vs profits.

I will always stand for the american worker. You don't like them for some reason. If emoyers have it harder finding employees we all benefit.

Spot on John.......I had the usual "Eggs" sign out , but to sell directly to market means gub'mit approval , they get to come to one's farm and dictate how one's animals live, what they are fed, etc etc.....there's an insane amount of bureaucracy the industrial farms lobbied for than the small change farmers (yours truly) will never and a day be able to meet

That said, locally i do have may friends in low places...... ;) ~S~

If you stood for workers you wouldn't support minimum wages at all... they cost people jobs and raise the cost of the goods they buy for themselves and their family...
If you are one who demanded higher wages guess what... you don't get to bitch about inflation... because you caused it...

What ! He blamed Bidding for the terrible economy and high prices on everything. NONE of it was true. It was a world-wide Post COVID crisis. Everyone around the world suffered and we actually did better than most , Biden saving US from a recession. And left trump with a strong stable economy.let's see how long it takes trump to destroy all that.

Idiot Dem ideas are always half baked and never consider the consequences. Businesses don't just have to sit there and take it, they fight back with automation, pack up and move, close down. But the prissy Dem snobs sit there on their throne patting themselves on the back for jacking up the minimum wage.

So some floor workers whose wages went up some is what caused inflation? Not buying it.

Agreed. And at the same time they shouldn't have access to a labor force. They aren't entitled to workers.
