Chicken Breasts Jumped Overnight by $1 lb In My Area

Around 35% overnight. Eggs, 150%.

When is everyone going to loudly protest these unreasonable price hikes?

When I saw the headline, this is what I first thought of. Spring chicken. Boing boing boing.

But, joking aside, if you feel passionately about this you absolutely should make your voice heard. You can picket your grocery store and cancel them. Or you could protest at a meat processing plant.

@Foxxee I think the chicken and egg prices are related to the bird flu that is hitting the poultry industry. Millions of birds have been died. Poultry producers are being encouraged to keep flocks indoors. It is a mess.

People are being asked to refrain from using bird feeders and causing wild birds to congregate to a common food source rather than remaining scattered in the wild. The transmission rate is extremely high and as I understand it there is no preventative. I just hope poultry producers can survive.

I saw that their might be a chicken shortage due to the bird flu. I heard they have lost millions of birds. That is the reason for the price increase.

@Foxxee You can't protest something like this.

@Foxxee They may not be unreasonable. Supply and demand. Have you not heard that farmers have had to destroy hundreds of thousands of chickens due to bird flu? It was inevitable that prices of chicken products would go up.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- The confirmation of bird flu at another Iowa egg-laying farm will force the killing of more than 5 million chickens, state officials said Friday.

It's the second confirmed case of avian influenza in Buena Vista County, about 160 miles (257 kilometers) northwest of Des Moines, but the latest outbreak is at an operation with 5.3 million chickens. The earlier case was at a farm with about 50,000 turkeys.

The latest case confirmed by the state Department of Agriculture means nearly 12.6 million chicken and turkeys in at least eight states have been killed or will be destroyed soon.
