It is curious to me that egg prices have been hit pretty badly, but buying chicken (while certainly up in price from general inflation) hasn't seen the same sort of percentage increase yet. Certainly if the avian flu is hitting laying flocks the badly (an assertion which I obviously question the veracity of) it makes little sense it isn't also decimating chickens raised for their meat. Just an odd detail I've noted.
Big Ruckus D, sorta makes you wonder how much "fresh" chicken there is in the pipeline, now doesn't it? Or how much of that avian-flu dead chicken made it over to the meat side.
Big Ruckus D, It takes half a year to get a hen to lay an egg so the turn around time is substantial. It only takes 6-8 weeks to raise a chicken to slaughter size. Once they clean and sanitize the barn they are ready for another batch of chicks. This generally only takes a week. So every couple of months you can slaughter a chicken to eat but it takes at lease six months for a poult to start laying eggs.
Thanks, I meant to say the same thing yesterday but I got distracted. My grandfather ran a chicken farm for meat birds back in the mid-1960s and everything you said is correct. Birds were kept under lights 20 hours a day and harvested at 8 weeks with a week of house clean-up between batches.
4: It's not just girls who do this. I think we all know people who say things like "Look at all the money I saved!" after making a pretty stupid purchase on "sale." 8: It'll be 22 years on March 2nd since I've touched alcohol. This brings back memories. It took me a while to recognize that the people who were asking me this were actually the ones I needed to cut out of my life, and with one exception I did. Some of the best decisions I ever made.
The Brit’s should transport all of Scotland, one dump truck at a time and dump it off their southern most point to build themselves a decent place to live.
Actually, dumping Scottish dirt at England's southern most point would be in the southwest at towards Lands End and Penzance, not Dover in the southeast. I lived there too, once upon a time. Scots and Brits are generally nice folks, but their food is horrible and should be dumped in the sea.

"Guys only want one thing and it's disgusting!"
ReplyDeleteSo, why don't you wash it?
McDonald's apple pies were used for welding steel bridges.
ReplyDeleteThe outside of those pies look like what the inside of your mouth will if you eat it too soon after buying it.
DeleteAll true, they tasted a lot better than the current ones. If it didn’t melt your tongue.
DeleteA return of the original fried apple pies might just be enough to get me back into a McDonald's, after years of swearing off the place.
Delete#11. If I ever received notification that the bride was uninviting omnivores, I'd still go and then explain that I'm a carnivore.
ReplyDeleteIf it’s an open bar I’d go and bring a big bag of jerky to share
Delete#20. ??? I don't want to live among any people. Betting the feeling is mutual.
ReplyDeleteI second that emotion!
DeleteNo children, no grandchildren, no friends…sounds awful.
DeleteActually, it's very pleasantly peaceful.
Delete#19: egging a house in 2025 is just as bad as TP'ing a house in 2020.
ReplyDeleteRoger that, the same phuquers that tried kill/control us in 2020 are now murdering all the chickens. Eggs? Chicken wings? Maybe later this year...

ReplyDeleteLet me show you in my cabinet where #12 hurt me.

ReplyDeleteBut that would put them that much closer to Frants with it's own "immigrant" problems.
DeleteI've been to Britain and there are no decent places to live.

Delete#12 I don't think that's funny at all, what's next you gonna make fun of my good box collection?
ReplyDelete#1. In 2025 that location has certainly become the re-embodiment of Epstein Island
