Emergency Best Posts in Thread: chicken shortage

Chicken shortages often foretell future price increases. Coming soon to a Robinsons near you.

 

HI been there done that,for a start San Miguel will pay you peanuts for all your hard work and heart break like most big company,s the little man is there to be used to the fullest. Its early this and worse than usual but its called NASTY AUGUST thousands of chickens of New Castle sickness i lost my entire flock over night a few years back . Many people have there own idea,s as to what causes it, water, wet season , god, ect In the 11 years i have been here i have not seen it so bad maybe its a sign of things to come.

 

Hi, posterart, nice post but you should post this in a relevant thread or make one. Unless this is some sort of cryptic post of shortage of chickens just saying.
BTW Welcome on board

 

Haven't noticed a lack of chicken in Tanjay and the wife has not heard of any diseases, don't know if Prince gets their chickens locally but assume the mom and pop stores do.

Interesting, read back to my post #32 from yesterday

There were 4 or 5 full trays of different cuts at Hypermart at 2pm, when were you there? Maybe we can figure out if there is a general delivery time so we know when to go look.

 

Since a hen lays about 200 to 300 eggs a year that is unlikely. What is likely is the producers are butchering them as young as they can because the longer they keep that chicken alive, the more chance it will catch a disease and be unsaleable.

 

I had noticed that when I bought chicken at the store/market, etc....they were all obviously young chickens because the chicken pieces were so small. Perhaps they have butchered so many young ones they have none left to reproduce.....? (Familiar with the term, "the children are our future")?

 

That's an easy one. If you want to settle this once and for all, ask your SO's, they're always right.

 

It surprises me that some entrepreneur does not take a styrofoam cooler to someplace that HAS chicken for sale and bring it back to sell it where there is a demand for it.

 

Which shortage comes first? The chicken or the egg?

Apparently, we have our answer.
