    That’s insane. Sounds like your egg prices were being artificially kept low.

      They would crowd them in cages and pump them full of antibiotics so they wouldn’t get sick. When there’s a disease that the medicine doesn’t fix, they need to kill the herds and rebuild… which leaves us where we are now.

        Ahhh that explains it. The vast majority of eggs in the UK are free range, where hens have to have access to outside space.

        I think you can get caged eggs still, so they’d be much cheaper.

      Nope, we just have an abundance of eggs. Plus the fed buys a large amount for vaccines(now that trumps in power. I doubt that’s still happening)
