Egg supply and increased price
on Tucker Carlson last night, he reported on a decrease in output of eggs from chickens
seems the cause is the food they are eating, when people switched to a local supply for chicken feed, the issue of the decrease in egg output went away
details in the video
so WTF is going on and are other food sources being threatened??

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.
Changed feed (from designated chick to goat) and chickens started laying again. Feed was originally purchased at Tractor Supply.
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.
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.
Wonder if that is what has caused a lot of flem in my throat lately with no other symptoms.
The greatest blessing: The youngsters call me or stop by. My babies didn't make it. I'm being adopted when I thought all hope lost.
I will never leave the snow belt. It takes a lot of effort to live outside large metro areas. Those seeking freebies are scrutinized more closely and easy to $&$%$ .... if you understand ambiguous code.
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 think in the future, we will have to buy from local farmers and ranchers- no choice.

I'm testing diesel/kerosene mix with veg oil filtered to 1um for my truck and a couple tractors. Missing is a 10 to 20hp wood boiler to turn a 3 phase generator ... have the raw materials but thinking a purchase may be of better value.
And for the past 3 years I get to consume unpasteurized products. My guts have settled down quite a bit. First 9 years of life I was raised like this.
Like you, we have quite a few urban migrants. Considering buying longer bill caps to hide our eyes when we have to drop our heads and look sidelong at each other in wonder/disbelief.
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.
Perhaps it's titled: "TO SERVE MAN" and they haven't figured out that it's a recipe book ?
I live next to Tombstone Arizona -- they have a working gallows. A good strong rope has a low cost per unit use and there's very little mess.
Put the executions on Pay Per View, and watch the national debt evaporate overnight.
It also serves as a warning to future demagogues.

(wish I knew how to say that quote in Latin. I bet it sounds much more impressive.)
Bob Ferguson, AG in Washington State (my former place of residence for 30 years) is pushing for the Ministry of Truth. That got shot down at the national level, but it is being drafted for state-wise implementation. Quietly disappearing BF, Molon Labe style, would be a nice simple place to start the cockroach clean up process.
As for the guillotine, I would make a road trip to enjoy the proceedings in person.
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.
But many farm houses would store it in a container with water (and I think SALT), for up to a year! FWIW any egg that floats to the top gets thrown away. Only bad eggs float to the top!
But don't quote me. I am ignorant like most city dwellers...
One of the good lessons is to decide how you plan to survive, and which extreme cases will have you not bothering. For example, if we lose the power grids, every nuclear reactor will start spewing radiation after some time. That's a bridge too far for me.
Some people draw the line at cannibalism. Each person has to draw their own lines. And they will have to figure out how they intend to handle the NPC/Zombie neighbors who will be utterly lost and likely not survive the first 90 days of extreme hardships.
Learn to generate PDF Files from websites that have useful topics. Save them.
Load them directly onto Kindle devices. I have like 5 kindles. One of them has over 1,000 PDF files on it, and I often replicate those to a thumb drive.
This includes things like how to make soil, bleach, soap, candles, tallow. I also have a variety of 5V systems to use to charge these, and can charge them from solar. As well as USB type battery packs. So, you can charge with solar during the day, and read after the sun goes down, and when the devices battery gives out, you can use the USB battery feature.
A Few of these would be nice for a community. One can be used to teach from.
I do NOT have a good solution for YouTube videos other than downloading them, and playing them, but that requires a PC and real storage.
Personally, I would clone Kahn Academy to teach math/calc/physics.
YMMV...

Used distilled water. Don't trust evap of chlorine or fluorine. Don't use containers of more than 5 quart. Inspect every egg for potential cracks ... one broken will ruin the batch. Once the solution is mixed and eggs are resting in their container, pour the solution onto the eggs keeping the sediments stirred up.
Happy glassing!
Ultimate (for super long time storage is this, freeze drying)

This couple are friends of mine, they do a decent job of training how to “go Galt”.
Regardless, it’s always prudent to make yourself less dependant from the slavers.
