Have you noticed the 'egg-stremely' high egg prices? The avian influenza, or bird flu, is affecting egg prices as they continue to rise in San Diego.
“They said 38 million egg laying chickens have died and then there’s a bunch of other birds too. It’s hard to contain because migratory birds are transmitting it, so it’s really hard to contain,” Aftreth said.For some types of eggs, the price has more than doubled.
“It’s hard to balance and have eggs on the shelf. The other thing too, with the price of the eggs, they’re slowing a lot down in sales,” Aftreth said. “So you can’t order too much on those because then you’re going to be having them code out on you. Throwing away eggs, nobody wants that.” Another factor that is impacting egg prices are big businesses not being able to use their normal egg distributors.
“Eben-Haezer, who are a local company, they’re getting phone calls from companies that don’t normally order eggs from them because they can’t get eggs from their normal distributors. So that’s impacted the egg prices,” Aftreth said.“I just can’t find them. I went to Costco, they don’t have them anymore. So, I don’t know what’s going on,” Duff said.“It’s absolutely ridiculous the price of eggs,” Duff said. “It’s made us tighten up and watch our budget.
So, he’s taking matters into his own hands, saying, “I’m going to get some chickens. When my kids were little we used to have chickens. We used to have fresh eggs every morning. So, I’m like, ‘I’m going to go back to that, why not?'’”“Give the public some alternatives. That would be helpful,” Naviello said, “so we don’t have the mad rush to the grocery store and somebody buys out all the eggs.
