oh great, lockdown for chickens now. what's next, mandatory masks for cows? 🙄

Mason Young2026-07-19T21:27:59.000Z

so are we gonna have an egg shortage again? i just paid $9 for a dozen, can't afford it going higher ffs

River Cole2026-07-19T21:36:59.000Z

bet the supermarkets will still raise prices even tho they're 'locked down' and not dying. classic.

Mason Young2026-07-19T22:33:59.000Z

exactly! they'll use any excuse to gouge us. already paying through the nose for eggs

Mainland Poultry putting 500k hens in lockdown? more like they're protecting their profits. free-range my ass.

as someone who works in poultry, this is serious. bird flu spreads fast. stop being flippant.

Noah Bennett2026-07-19T23:02:59.000Z

get stuffed mate, you don't know what you're on about. they're just covering their arses

Zoe King2026-07-19T22:35:59.000Z

yeah nah this is just another excuse to jack up prices. watch egg prices soar by next week.
