Two different breeds, I believe. Does avian flu not affect fryers the same way as layers?

Might settle the age old quesiton, of which came first.

Another aspect is that Egg layer operations are much larger than broiler operations. A bird flu case at an egg layer operation might lead to 2 million birds being culled while a broiler operation would be more like 30k-300k.

Because healthy people are eating less and less chicken. Modern regular grocery store chicken is trash. Full of omega 6, steroids and other drugs.

Find the fricking chickens

Do me a favor… go kill over 200 million dogs (like Biden did Chickens) and get back to me as to why there is a massive shortage of dog shite in public parks, sidewalks, etc.
Once you see that there is a massive shortage of dog shite, please respond to the reason why there is a massive shortage of dog shite everywhere

Gen Z chickens have no interest in sex and reproducing.

This is correct. But it also begs the question of why only one set of chickens were culled.
The government wants you in a pod and eating bugs comrade.

I think we know one name on the Epstein list.

My guess is that there isn't a 1:1 correspondence between egg-producing chickens and chickens bred for consumption.
Posted on 2/27/25 at 3:39 pm to RaoulDuke504
Because we are eating all the chickens they are killing off.

a chicken slaughtered for eating only takes 6 weeks to go from hatchling to roughly 2 lbs...which is typical slaughter weight.
An egg laying chicken takes 9-10 months before it starts laying eggs.
This means that after the slaughter of a large percentage of our egg laying chickens there will be a shortage of supply for almost a year.

Sure, for selling small whole chickens.
When you buy breasts, thighs, legs, and wings, those are from chickens that are called roasters, and they typically take 12-20 weeks to get to that 5-7lb range.

A hen usually takes 18 weeks to lay eggs, not 40 weeks.
Thanks for all the misinformation.
The question of why is there an egg shortage but not a chicken shortage is a very valid question. Did the price of an egg mcmuffin go up? did the prices at waffle house go up? When you go have brunch this sunday will the prices be higher for dishes with eggs?
Or is it just grocery store egg prices that went up, b/c thats' what it seems like.
