The left either wants destruction, or they are too stupid to see the result of their policies, or they just dont care what happens when their policies are implemented. I dont know which, but I and dead set on assigning blame to the leftists as their policies are being adopted.

Supposedly there is some talk about a coating that is on the egg as its laid that helps protect it from infection. And that when you wash the eggs, it removes that coating and results in less resistance to going bad.

chickens are essentially egg and meat machines. Changing almost anything about their lives will affect their output. If I were a chicken raiser, I would pay particular attention to the food and the housing conditions and their relation to output of eggs and growth of the chicken itself.

Nixon opened relations and trade with China, but he didn't foresee what China would do with that. Under the pretext of moving toward capitalism (so that they could trade 'fairly' with other companies around the world), China allowed the creation of corporations - but - each corporation is owned at least 51% by the Communist party, so, effectively, you're still dealing with the Communist party only. They call all the shots, and if anything goes awry, the slightly lower level corporate executives are there to take the hit, or bullet, as necessary. This is entirely a win-win situation for the Communists, and in this country, skim-off-the-top politicians and corporate execs who are glad to sacrifice quality and national security for a cheaper product. So many American companies have either gone out of business or farmed production out to China because they can't compete with Chinese competition, not understanding that they aren't competing with honest little independent companies - they're competing with the Communist Bloc. I have a new acronym for Chinese products which I wish would become common: SMIC. It stands for S**t Made In China.

Look, I know people who are building incubators to grow the eggs into Chickens, to start raising their owns.

This is smart, but be careful. Everyone sees the same opportunities, and the next wave will be that we have too many eggs.

ANYONE Here know how to store farm eggs (NOT store eggs) in water for about a year?
Anyone else freezing them? (Experienced with that).

I used to buy Frozen Egg Whites back in the day.

Had to +1 this, Exitstageright! Live long and prosper!

Agreed. Remember when China put plastic in dog food? It was to manipulate the label to make the percentages appear normal. I too have zero trust in Chinese products. Thank you Richard Nixon.

Ranch sounds good. We had to give up our 1 acre mini-farm a few years ago because I could no longer keep it up while caring for my Alzheimer’s hubby and my own failing health. I miss it so much, especially the neighbors who understood my preparations because they did the same. Now doing our best to hide in plain sight as we are entrenched in a suburb of Cleveland.

And it's all by design.
Crash the economy, destroy our power supply and infrastructure, starve us out, and turn our children into crazed neurotics.

They want us dead.
Those few that survive will be feudal serfs.

I think everybody who participated in engineering this needs an introduction to Madame Guillotine.

On my ranch, I raise chickens, goats, and cattle. Added together, a few hundred animals. I buy all my feed in pallet quantity from a local (60 miles away) feed mill that processes and bags product.
As for eggs, I no longer sell grocery stores as they refuse to pay what I need to pay my cost. So I sell locally to individuals at 4 bucks a dozen for large brown eggs from free range chickens. FDA would frown on this, so it is low key. Small town locals are grateful however.
Selling Alpine goats milk is almost impossible however due to FDA restrictions (pasteurized). I do have lactose intolerant household kiddos whose parents I can trust insist on buying from me. I did have a libtard move in from Ca who asked me if I pasteurize . I told her, “hell, I don’t even think its past their teats. “
Not a customer…..

I watched footage from that huge fire and not on TV. The Blaze newsletter had it covered. Not only is our food supply being obliterated, our renewable fuel supply being curtailed, our children being taught drivel and trash, etc.,etc.,etc, but our infrastructure is being eaten by neglect as our government sends billions of worthless dollars all over the world and this country's citizens are being relegated to the bottom of the pile for anything and everything. I am beyond disgusted. When the shooting war starts, count me in.

Somebody bought futures in eggs. Probably Santa Klaus.

Wow, Commander, the fungi presence does seem to have increased since last summer around my house as well. I even took pictures of some I've never seen before. Oddly, I've also noticed a white mold on firewood I've never seen before - I had to switch to a different supplier than usual this winter and the wood seems awful wet as well. I chalked the mold up to the wetness, but who knows.

Funny I was eating scrambled eggs with butter and salt while I watched this report. About $5.39 a dozen for Jumbos. Before the Communist Lockdown they were about $2 a dozen.

China sells us garbage. Lead paint on toys. Shrimp grown in tanks fed with human feces. Wait until we finally start accepting pharmaceuticals manufactured in China. I once had a pharmacy switch a generic from one manufacturer to Taro and the formulation released too fast because they cheaped-out on the ingredients and it caused me a severe problem. The dose was correct but the formula was changed. And that wasn't a Chinese company.

My Dad hates buying machine tool bits made of tungsten carbide (cuntsten targlide) because they snap a lot. Made out of Chinesium metal he calls it. A lot of tools have sintered metal gears and parts which do work but wear out faster.

Our government has been selling us out to China for decades. Now the food supply. I remember when China was adulterating pet food and people's cats and dogs were dying.

They manufactured drywall with formaldehyde and when people lived in government shelters during Hurricane Katrina so many of them got horribly sick from the formaldehyde.

China.

Avian flu is just another "cold", until a specific strain is isolated and identified.
Folks around me are feeding duck mix. Fed law (as if this really matters anymore) prohibits chemical additive and other things from the feed. We also "shop" the discarded produce from the local groceries for chickens and pigs.
Keep your RADAR up for fungi in plant, animal and human infection this spring and summer. The past two years I have seen a 200-300% increase in mushroom growth on my property despite drought of over 6 weeks each year. One of our folks is growing low level production, and seeing a huge uptick in growth rate and size for his 8 or so species. So much of what I read as a kid is fiction no more.

I watched a video on this two days ago. It was an independent farmer, who also raised chickens as well as his neighbors. They all said something has happened to the TS feed. The farmer doesn't blame TS because TS gets its feed from a central supplier already bagged with the TS label. That supplier also supplies feed to other outlets with their respective labels. Like you, Commander, he suspects something serious has happened to the feed supply. What it is and where it originated he can't say. This does not look good.

Add to that is cases of bird flu are showing up and whole flocks are being destroyed to prevent spread. So far millions of birds have been put down. So, less birds and less eggs per surviving birds is a bad situation.

This was independently shared with me last night from first hand source in N. central WI.
Changed feed (from designated chick to goat) and chickens started laying again. Feed was originally purchased at Tractor Supply.
