What is causing the rise in egg prices? The mainstream media wants you to believe that it’s the Avian Flu. Several input costs must be added to the price before the eggs get to the customer. Add, on top of the input costs, the testing of chickens for Avian Flu. The combination of these is contributing to the rising cost of eggs.
Basic input costs directly affect the price of necessities you buy at the store: wages are up, raw materials are up, and transportation costs are up, equal to the production costs.
Manufacturers/businesses/retailers have two choices: raise costs to meet the production costs to stay in business or stop production (i.e., go out of business).
Rising Costs Everywhere
Rising Costs Of Chicken Feed
A primary cost to raise chickens is chicken feed. Chickens must be fed. The price of chicken feed has risen while the bags have gotten smaller (shrinkflation). This means that Big Agriculture, which most normal eggs come from grocery stores, has to increase its prices to cover its costs. This is true of even smaller local farms in your area. The more local farms won’t have to pay fuel costs to deliver them to grocery stores, depending on their location. All of these costs are then passed onto the consumer. The small local business to Big Agriculture companies must make a profit to stay in business.
Rising Fuel Costs
Diesel is the primary input cost that is used to deliver food. Before the eggs get to your favorite grocery store or any food at your local grocery store, the eggs must first be delivered via truck. The delivery trucks run on diesel. With the rising fuel prices, this is a cost that is also being passed down to the consumer.
Rising Grocery Store Costs
The grocery store where you are purchasing your eggs then needs to pay employees to stock the shelves. That is an input cost that will be added to the final price of the eggs. The grocery store needs to make a profit to stay in business, although grocery stores have minimal profit margins compared to other industries.
All of these costs are being passed onto you, the consumer. These problems were caused by an increase in the money supply by the central banks and disruption of the supply chains due to the lockdowns.
The Avian Flu Problem
“Scientists are doing an awful lot of damage to the world in the name of helping it. I don’t mind attacking my own fraternity because I am ashamed of it.” –Kary Mullis, Inventor of Polymerase Chain Reaction
USDA
The USDA requires large chicken production farmers to test for the Avian Flu in flocks of chickens using the Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Testing USDA-Licensed Thermo Fisher Scientific Applied Biosystems™ VetMAX™-Gold AIV Detection Kit. The RT-PCR Diagnostic Testing was the same tool used to test for Covid. The test does not work. Yet, big agriculture is using it to test for the Avian Flu.
Thermofisher Scientific writes:
“Because HPAI can destroy a flock, it’s critical to contact your veterinarian at the first sign of a disease outbreak. Because several diseases can cause high mortality, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is the only way to know with confidence which pathogen has infected your flock.”
The USDA has a fancy name for the PCR called “Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Testing USDA-Licensed Thermo Fisher Scientific Applied Biosystems™ VetMAX™-Gold AIV Detection Kit.”
The USDA confirms they use PCR under Table Notes, “Specimens detected by the NAHLN H5 assay were further tested by a developmental real-time RT PCR targeting the Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong H5 clade 2.3.4.4b.”
Do you see a pattern here? Have you heard about PCR before? That’s because it was used to test for Covid, except it has been criticized for being unable to test for viruses.
CDC
If you look over the CDC’s website, you will find a document called CDC Diagnostics for Detecting H7N9 Using rRt-PCR. It is vague. Most intriguing is that the CDC states, “On April 22, 2013, the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel-Influenza A/H7 (Eurasian Lineage) Assay.” The CDC asserts that PCR can detect the Avian Flu. Further, the Emergency Use Authorization never ended.
Governments love emergencies. Never let a good crisis go to waste. The only reason this is still going on is because of a EUA (Emergency Use Authorization), just as Biden recently renewed the Covid public health emergency, which began with Trump.
Testing Chickens Using The PCR Test That Was Used For Covid
Chickens are tested with the same BS tool people were told to test for Covid. It was never designed to test or find viruses, yet that is how it is used. There only needs to be one chicken that comes up positive for the FDA to order Big Agricultural farms to cull their entire batch of chickens.
“Dr Stephen Bustin, one of the world’s leading experts on PCR, says that under certain conditions anyone can test positive. He considers both the arbitrariness of establishing criteria for results and the choice of the number of cycles to be nonsense because they can lead to anyone testing positive… The PCR test is scientifically worthless and all ‘positive’ results obtained should be invalidated.”
Why would PCR work for chickens if it does not work for humans?
The question that more people can ask themselves is, is Germ Theory correct? Is there an opposing theory that goes against the mainstream media, “experts,” and “the science” narrative? Consensus by “experts” is not how science works. Science works by following the Scientific Method. Skepticism and being willing to prove that a scientific hypothesis of a long-held scientific view may be incorrect is how science is supposed to function correctly. Questioning the consensus is how science is supposed to operate.
"The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period." - Michael Crichton
Food Supply
Suppose the Avian Flu is not responsible for killing chickens. In that case, the USDA is responsible because they are telling Big Agriculture to kill their chickens because of a positive result from the PCR. PCR was never meant to test for viruses. PCR was designed to be a diagnostics tool. The tool is meaningless because it lacks a gold standard to test against. The less supply there is of something with high demand means that the cost of that good or service will be more expensive. This is what people are experiencing with the rising cost of eggs. It is being done because Big Agriculture must decrease their supply of chickens that lay eggs, by culling the flock per government regulations.
Lockdowns
Lockdowns disrupted the economy and put many small and medium-sized businesses out of business. The economy is still recovering from it because the lockdowns were done on a global scale. The lockdowns negatively affected the global supply chains around the world. These affected shipping, supply, and demand since manufacturers largely follow the on-demand business model. The on-demand business model means that businesses do not pay to hold stock of a product.
The on-demand business model only has the minimum number of items necessary in stock to meet the demand before a business orders more. This helps to keep costs down and save unnecessary storage space for products that may not sell.
The Federal Reserve
The Federal is responsible for the monetary supply. The Federal Reserve increased the M2 money supply from $15.4 million from January 2020 to 2022, printing 40% of the money supply. This resulted in inflation. The Federal Reserve and the government continue to print money, which worsens the inflation problem. Add the supply chain issues on top of the currency printing, and it is no surprise that inflation continues to rise. You will likely have to continue to pay more for necessities.
Prices and inflation will likely continue to rise. The best way to mitigate rising costs is to find ways to increase your income or build new income streams.
Solutions
You want to find ways to be independent of the centralized food production system. You can get to know your local farmers who raise chickens. You can buy your eggs at a Farmer’s Market. If you have enough space, you could consider raising your own chickens. You always have options. You want to find ways to become more self-reliant.

Summary
The Avian Flu is not the cause of the increase in egg prices. The input costs are the primary driver of the rise in the cost of eggs and other groceries you buy at the store. The way the FDA tests for Avian Flu may also be contributing to the problem by limiting the supply of chickens and eggs, which contribute to the cost. Add on top of this the supply chain issues that the economy continues to deal with from the lockdowns. Finally, the Federal Reserve remains the public enemy number one of the people because it controls the money supply, creating inflation while devaluing the currency. That means your dollar now buys you less than it did two years ago.
We’re not for everyone.
