Just visited my closest grocery store. 18 eggs for $7.50 + tax. Chicken thighs were on sale for $1.49 a pound. Is the bird flu causing the inflation on eggs or not? If so, are they selling us dead flu birds? The math ain't mathing.

That said, around me (detroit area) chickens breasts have gone up in price. Normally, I paid about $7 for a two pack (about a pound and half) now paying $9-10.

Birds that lay eggs are different from the birds that get sent to slaughter. Slaughter chickens are anywhere from 7 weeks to 5 months old. Egg laying chickens start laying around 4-5months and live to around 7 years old. So the two are really intertwined in the price of eggs and meat.

Yeah, no, the egg prices are just from price fixing. There was a bird flu thing but we're way past that. Why would they lower prices? They're making more money this way.
