    That’s okay, I can wait while the greedy middlemen jerk each other off over the flimsy excuse of avian flu. I refuse to pay over $2/dozen on eggs and I’m being generous with that limit. Would be interesting to understand why the value line of this chart rocketed up so hard while production didn’t drop anywhere close to such a dramatic degree:

      $2 / dozen?

      I pay about $12 / dozen after conversion because I can’t imagine a lower price covering cost that allows any decent kind of life for the chickens.

      How, after all costs, should $2 / dozen even work outside of the most horrible conditions?
