Poultry farmer reacts to egg shortage: 'We're entering the fourth year of a battle and we're losing'

[PalmettoTiger1]

Trump had no obligation to put a specific time frame on lowering prices or ending the Ukraine war, etc. Gets really tiring hearing supporters make excuses. Just say he lied and then say you still support his overall moves and move on with life.

So he’s doing the right things and we’re gonna see the CPI go the right way for the first time in a long time tomorrow? Is that your assertion? Or is this inflation transitory like the last shit president got us?

I want to comment on both of these replies:

@UrHuckleberry

Gets really tiring hearing supporters make excuses.

First to your comment A couple wants to have a baby or you want to fix the egg shortage. A mere mortal has to do things at a human pace. Based on your implied impatience you sound like you would expect a couple to have sex and the baby be born in two months.

It requires time to do that. Just as it will require time to accomplish some of the things Trump has said he will do.

@DW4_2016 Please see my response below.

I get the vibe from your writings that using the baby metaphor you expect a couple to have sex and the baby next week.

Let me just say to both of you that if you were asked to fix these America's issues it would be unrealistic of me to expect either of you to complete it with 2 months of taking office which is what you have me to believe is the only outcome you will accept.

Stoicism, patience and compromise. I read and practice these traits in daily life dealing with people and life.

Would encourage you guys just to take a peek at the teachings.

You guys enjoy the day as I am going out to build a new chicken coop my wife is nagging me for. LOL

I don't think you're understanding what I am saying at all.

I am saying Trump knew that it takes 9 months to make a baby and lied and said the baby would be born day 1.

He lied. He knew he was lying. Doesn't mean you have to think his policies are wrong.

All the other nonsense you're spouting I'm not addressing whatsoever. I am literally only saying he lied, knew he was lying, etc.

Only ignorant people thought he meant he would really be able to lower prices on day one. Most people with even a low IQ knows what he was saying was that he will get to work to lower the prices on day one and he went right to work. That being said the Biden team went out of their way to mess things up on their way out so the recovery would take longer so they could use it to attack him from the start. The left is a very dishonest group of people that love to play word games to confuse people to what is going on. Their whole way of thinking is build on a house of cards using smoke and mirrors to hide the truth...

OK you are saying he was lying that he had a magic wand and Heavenly powers that rival Jesus to make changed as soon as he was elected on day one.

Please don’t take this as an insult to anyone but I am really glad that I am not that stupid and know better than that

Dear @DrTigerGoob

If you are a doctor let me share one eternal truth

IT TAKES 9 MONTHS FOR ONE WOMAN TO HAVE A BABY

YOU CANNOT HAVE NINE WOMEN PREGNANT AND HAVE A BABY IN ONE MONTH

Now that I have enlightened you the facts are Trump came into office Jan 20th

The process to get the Sec of Agriculture in place took about another two weeks

The former ADMINISTRATION SLAUGHTERED HUNDREDS OF MILLION OF LAYING AGE CHICKENS INSTEAD OF DOING INNOCULATIONS

So, the present administration comes into office with a deficit of like 200,000 million chickens of laying age

Let me explain it takes a chicken to lay an egg and then it is fertilized by artificial methods to assure consistency

Next, they are incubated, hatched and spend weeks in the nursery at like 93 degrees to get to a size they can survive

Once to that size they get to a pen and are feed for about 6 months before they start laying

SO, IT IS A PROCESS OF ABOUT 6 MONTHS

CHECK BACK AROUND SEPTEMBER TO SEE HOW THE EGG SHORTAGE IS GOING BECAUSE ONLY GOD CAN FIX IT AS FAST AS YOU EXPECT IT TO BE FIXED

I INCLUDED A SIMPLETON'S EXPLANANTION OF THE PROCESS

Beginner's Guide to Raising Laying Hens • The Prairie Homestead

This guide to raising laying hens will teach you about the best laying hen breeds, how to get different colored eggs, and how to keep your hens healthy.

www.theprairiehomestead.com

My father and mother taught me to educate myself before I spoke on any subject

Giving you a starter site. Take a few hours and learn about raising food and farming

I raise and have egg laying chickens as a hobby in my retirement so I don't need eggs

give away dozens each week for kicks to neighbors

I say again...he said he was going to fix it. Has he?

I want egg prices down right now like Trump wants Canada as a 51st state.

Just keep playing dumb like you didnt know what he was really saying, again very dishonest or just dumb...

@micyoung75

Speaker Johnson, claiming this CR spares Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and veterans’ benefits is a razor-sharp distraction from your party’s real agenda. Sure, this stopgap maintains the status quo—but Project 2025 and your GOP budget resolution threaten devastating cuts and privatization, gutting the safety net for the vulnerable under Trump’s reckless leadership. This deception is shameful, a hallmark of an administration that’s consistently prioritized partisan games over the dignity of Americans.As a believer in America’s promise, I demand you stop this charade and protect our citizens, not your narrative. The media must cut through this misinformation, too—don’t let Johnson’s sleight of hand stand. Trump’s legacy of entitlement threats isn’t erased by a temporary fix; it’s time to wield truth and compassion, not lies and cruelty.

DPIC73...you know he didn't say he was going to cut Medicare and Medicaid. Do a simple Google on what he actually said (you can even watch the video). The quotes are out there.....here is what he said.

“Most of the federal spending is entitlements, so that’s like the big one to eliminate.”

“I’m not going to touch Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. Now, we’re going to get fraud out of there,” “We’re going to get the fraud out, and everybody wants us to get the fraud out, and, therefore, you will make it better.”

It is REALLY, REALLY clear that he is talking about fraud. He mentioned the Government Accountability Office finding $100's of billions in fraud, but that they didn't do anything about it. Here is the link to the GAO report from 2024
MEDICARE AND MEDICAID Additional Actions Needed to Enhance Program Integrity and Save Billions

On the first page:
What GAO FoundThe Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) estimated a combinedtotal of over $100 billion in improper payments in the Medicare and Medicaidprograms in fiscal year 2023. This represents 43 percent of the government-widetotal of estimated improper payments that agencies reported for that year.

This talking point about cutting Medicare and Medicaid is just plain nonsense and is demonstrably proven false with the above quotes. The fact that the GAO realized it and the congress/white house did NOTHING is what is more concerning to me.

I appreciate this post tbh- you're taking Trump at his word and what he's said.

The problem is that Trump, Musk, and ALL the Russian bots on twitter whose tweets are constantly posted here and by the MAGA's is calling EVERYTHING fraud. Everything is a BOMBSHELL. Everyone should go to JAIL. Growls has called for the firing squad multiple times about people lol in this forum.

I hear you when you say we should take him at what he says and not hyperbolize, but the problem is everything has been hyperbolized so much by the MAGA crowd (including by its leaders) to create dopamine rushes for their base to keep them hooked that are at best half truths and at worst complete lies, that nothing can be believed anymore. And most of it is just... untrue.

No true American one wants Government bloat. Almost all American's want the Government to be more efficient.

The problem is the current administration, its followers, and its social media Russian bots (this is proven, in fact by Clemson Professors in 20216) want to create such toxicity and hyperbole that nothing seems even real anymore. Hell this entire forum is just ridden with bs tweets and bombshells and "fraud."

Most of its fake. And anyone with a pulse knows it.

Isn't bird flu similar to flu in humans in that major epidemics occur primarily in colder months?

Aren't wild birds a major carrier of bird flu and an important vector in the spread?

14 Things You Need To Know Before Getting Chickens​

MSN

Have 7 chickens, which I got last year around Easter. Have a few Brahmas, Orbingtons, a Sapphire Gem and some Wyandottes. All are very hardy Chicken and are pretty good layers. This spring im getting 5 eggs a day. We are getting 4 more this spring another Orbington, a Americanas, and two French macrons.

I gotta admit, the eggs are nice … but … they are a lot of fun. They are pets, and my kids love taking care of them. If you have room, in your backyard … I’d recommend getting chickens for sure. As long as you don’t get a rooster, your neighbors will never know
