[This is now going to be my, every B4IN article, standard opening (as of Dec. 19, 2024):
I get it, I really do, all these outlets are operating as a business… And how do they make money? Advertising! (more continues: /media/2024/07/click-bait-here-click-bait-there-everywhere-click-bait-2515961.html )
Yes, sorry, frankly I TOO find especially the initial Ads (they pile up, to be able to get them viewed in case someone doesn't read the whole article) here interrupting a nice/natural Read flow and are ANNOYING (but it keeps the Site FREE FOR VIEWING no Pay Wall to have to BUY your way past) and conversely their annoyance may indeed keep some from wanting to bother (so, Please, there is some GREAT CONTENT here on B4IN, keep reading the entire pieces despite the annoying Ads) and note if you engage an AD BLOCKER often I have found it/they can cause issues with seeing all the intended article content --- don't want you to miss any of mine, nor anyone else who posts here entire content as intended! The authors images (some or all), videos (some or all), their intended cross-reference links (vs Site produced Ad links, the easy Share-At/On buttons, and more, might also get "blocked" from viewing. And so now, to catch any NEW Readers, I too adding to annoyance having to repeat this over and over. My apologies. I endeavor to always give you DETAILED WRITINGS (and cross-reference related links with other rabbit-holes you can go down) hopefully you'll deem worthy of putting up with the annoying Ads to engage in/with.  I am NOT fond of the changes, but I have been with B4IN a long time now - certainly not looking to leave.  Lastly, note: I also used to write for REDSTATE as well as for TheLibertyBeacon, most of the pieces I wrote there (TLB are still there, some RedState pieces at IA/WBM.]
 

Egg Prices Set to Double: Understanding the Impacts of Recent Chicken Slaughter Orders

TLDR: The Biden Administration’s recent order to slaughter five million chickens is expected to cause egg prices to double, raising concerns about food affordability and potential political narratives surrounding the issue.

In a shocking development for consumers, the cost of eggs is projected to double in the near future. This increase is primarily attributed to a recent order from the Biden Administration, which has directed the slaughter of five million chickens. This blog post will explore the implications of this decision, the reasons behind it, and the potential impact on consumers and the broader market.

## The Order to Slaughter Chickens

The decision to cull five million chickens is not unprecedented; however, the scale of this order is significant. Historically, similar actions have been taken in response to health concerns, particularly regarding bird flu. Yet, the magnitude of this recent order raises questions about the necessity and timing of such a drastic measure.

### Timing and Context

The order was issued during the lame duck period of the Biden Administration, which has led to speculation about the motivations behind it. Critics have pointed out that while previous culls have involved smaller numbers of chickens, this substantial figure of five million seems excessive. Questions arise as to why the administration did not opt for a larger cull, such as ten or twenty million chickens, if the health risks were as severe as claimed.

## Impact on Egg Supply

To understand the ramifications of this slaughter, it is essential to consider the egg-laying capacity of chickens. On average, a chicken lays one egg per day. Therefore, the culling of five million chickens translates to a loss of five million eggs daily in the supply chain. This significant reduction comes at a time when consumer demand for eggs remains relatively stable.

### Wholesale Price Increases

According to industry insiders, the wholesale price of eggs is expected to rise dramatically, from approximately $1.11 per egg to around $2.25 per egg. This increase represents more than a doubling of costs. As a result, restaurants and food service providers are faced with tough decisions. For instance, one restaurant owner mentioned that he might have to reduce the number of eggs in his three-egg omelet to two eggs to manage costs, potentially increasing the amount of meat in the dish instead.

## Consumer Affordability Concerns

The impending price hike raises critical questions about consumer affordability. Will customers be willing to pay significantly higher prices for breakfast items that include eggs? As the cost of eggs rises, it is likely that demand will decrease, which could lead to a slight reduction in prices over time. However, even if prices stabilize at around $2 per egg, this still represents a substantial increase from previous levels.

## Political Narratives and Blame

As discussions about rising egg prices gain traction in Congress, there is a growing narrative attempting to shift blame.. Some lawmakers are suggesting that the Trump Administration is responsible for the current egg price crisis. However, this narrative appears to be an attempt to deflect attention from the Biden Administration’s own policies and decisions that have led to the current situation.

### Conclusion

In summary, the decision to slaughter five million chickens is poised to have a significant impact on egg prices, with costs expected to double in the coming months. As consumers prepare for potential sticker shock at grocery stores and restaurants, it is crucial to understand the underlying factors driving these changes. The political implications of this situation are also noteworthy, as narratives emerge that seek to assign blame for the rising costs. As the situation develops, consumers and industry stakeholders alike will need to navigate the challenges posed by these unprecedented price increases.
