The bird flu has spread across the U.S. and has caused consumers to pay more for this most valuable and incredible food source. Each chicken can lay between 100 to 360 eggs a year in their prime. This is why 80% of American families kept a few chickens in the 1930s and the 1940s. Expect American innovation to create so many eggs that it was no longer practical to raise your own chickens.

Chickens not only supply meat, they also lay millions of eggs and provide high qual-ity organic fertilizer. The chicken is surely the most valuable and easy to keep animal you can have. Chicken egg production has been greatly mechanized with huge farms and automated feeding systems. I saw one chicken egg producer on the news that had so many chickens he had to use a tractor trailer load of feed 365 days a year.
Because of bird flu we can expect eggs and chicken meat to increase even more. Eggs have been on Americans’ grocery list for many decades and have always been a great bargain. Eggs nutritional value is well documented and you are buying a natural and healthy food. (I can even cook them.)
Eggs have always been super cheap and just like really cheap gas you get used to it. We had chickens for a while and really enjoyed taking care of them yet could never eat all of the eggs.
The eggs were not really free. I figured my costs and to my dismay found out that I could just buy store eggs and save lots of money. The chickens are now gone when I really need them.
If you have ever had the flu you know that it is some bad stuff. Bird flu is also bad and hits everybody in their right rear pocket.
