Not surprising. Bird flu has been killing off so many chickens. Eggs aren't getting cheaper anytime soon.

Oh boy, that's really gonna rile up their clientele.

That's probably exactly what Waffle House is hoping for.

Why are eggs so expensive but drumsticks and chicken breasts still mostly the same price?

I mean, it takes a live chicken to lay an egg but not to get butchered.

Are the chickens with bird flu inedible too?

The chickens that are butchered for meat are not the same ones that are raised for egg production. The chickens that get sold as meat have pretty short lifecycles while the ones that are for eggs have to be raised much longer so there's a greater chance of them getting infected.

I was curious. Turns out the infected chickens are safe for human consumption so hopefully most of the slaughtered chickens didn't go to waste

Egg-laying chickens are not the same breed as chickens bred for meat.

Honestly I think Trumps response to this will be to tell people to sell the tainted eggs.

What tainted eggs? The chickens often die in just a day from bird flu.

Good thing my regular order at WH is just crispy hash browns cooked with cheese, onions, tomatoes, and ham. Sometimes I'll get a side of chili, too.

I know people like the spirit of the stickers but please don't actually plaster them everywhere like MAGAs did with the Biden stickers.

Its actually a real pain for the employees to remove the stickers and residue, especially if they got hit with sunlight

I misread that as White House at first and was wondering if the memes about Trump-branded eggs had somehow become a reality.

Same with eggs. You aren't supposed to eat them raw either.
