price of chicken may fly high

Chicken prices may run a foul
Helene just pummeled America’s chicken farming capital (msn.com)

Eggs also I would presume

[Michael_in_TX]

Not the eggs again!

[Jerod Broussard]

It will all even out when the ports shut down.

Which in turn, will likely affect the prices of other proteins as well

[mrteddyprincess]

That explains why chickens were landing at my house last Friday night...

[texastweeter]

Thank goodness there are three major chicken farms/producers right here in ETX. Once bought a box of frozen whole chicken from one of the factories. Was 15 birds in that box. Paid $20.

[bbqLuv]

That is a freezer fill up, or sure.

[Panhead John]

I just now paid……$4.72 for a dozen eggs! 😳 They were jumbo size, but still! And they weren’t anything fancy, just HEB store brand eggs.

[Jessterr]

Price has been rapidly rising over the past month or so here, since the bird flu is on the rampage again. Paid $3.60 today for a dozen large.

[Santamarina]

Here in CA I can get eggs at Costco for about $3/dozen. But at any of the grocery stores near me it’s between $6-$9 per dozen!!!

[Carolyn]

They are $3.99 at my local Albertson's right now. I guess I need to pick up another dozen. I just don't buy them when they skyrocket to $6.00 or more.

vampires, mummies, and the Holy Ghost those are the things that I fear the most….

If it ain't one thing it is another. Next you'll be tellin me veggies are goin up.

[bbqLuv]

FireMan veggies are going up, from the ground up. 😜

[texastweeter]

Ain't no demand

[J-Melt]

Glad I have 6 frozen whole chickens in my freezer! Possibly time to add more media prices go too far up…

[Santamarina]

😭😭😭…grocery prices are already up 100-150% of what they were three years ago..and now this. 🤦♂️😭🤦♂️😭🤦♂️😭🤦♂️

…prayers continue for all directly affected by the hurricane, as well as the entire country that is/will be affected by the fallout.

[DavidNorcross]

There is alot going on and most of it will unfortunately have an impact on food prices.

[Huskee]

Off Topic? Seems like chicken is poultry. I'll move this to the Poultry Discussion channel.

[bbqLuv]

This post is about collateral damage caused by Helene.
That is the intent of the post. I should have made that clearer.

[Huskee]

bbqLuv The title of your post is chicken, the title of the article is chicken, the article is about chicken; we're discussing chicken so it isn't Off Topic, it's Poultry Discussion.

[Spinaker]

Price are way high. It was $5.99/lb at the store last night. That is up considerably in my area anyway.

[jfmorris]

Ugh. We can't win for losing.

I guess I should be glad I am on a calorie reduction diet, and losing weight... but maybe I need to go get more meat for the freezer soon...
