I read something recently where eggs from Turkey were being shipped to the US to supplement supplies. I haven't see other similar stories, but I'd bet they're happening.

---

We are, but nowhere near enough. We got like 75MM from Turkey, but the US normal consumption is ~300MM/day

I'm fairly surprised to see them drop that quickly. You can't grow chickens overnight.

I wonder if outside supply is quietly being allowed in?

Stop eating garbage ass eggs.

Conventional eggs vs real pasture raised eggs

Massive difference in nutrition and quality.

Pasture raised eggs have far more vitamin E, vitamin D, omega 3, vitamin A and vitamin K2, giving them a darker color pic.twitter.com/RGSzeiHRiX

Eggs have indeed become a notable topic related to the Mexican government, particularly in recent years, due to their economic and social significance. As a staple food in Mexico, eggs are a key component of the diet and the broader economy, which has led to government attention in various contexts.

Historically, the Mexican government has taken steps to regulate egg prices and ensure availability, especially during periods of economic strain. For instance, eggs are often included in discussions about the "canasta bsica" (basic food basket), a set of essential goods monitored to address inflation and cost-of-living concerns. In 2022, there were reports of proposals to control the prices of eggs and other staples through agreements with businesses, reflecting the government's interest in stabilizing food costs for consumers.

More recently, as of March 2025, eggs have gained international attention due to price disparities between Mexico and the United States. With egg prices soaring in the U.S. due to avian flu outbreaks and other factors, Mexico's relatively lower pricesaveraging under $2 per dozen compared to much higher U.S. costshave led to increased smuggling across the border. This has prompted discussions about trade and import policies, with the Mexican government indirectly involved as the U.S. considers boosting imports of inspected eggs to ease shortages. Mexico's role as a potential supplier highlights its agricultural importance and the government's influence over export regulations.

While eggs may not dominate political discourse, their relevance ties into broader issues like food security, trade relations, and economic policy, making them a recurring point of interest for the Mexican government when circumstances demand attention.

Ignore the influencer bit for a second. Nothing he's saying in that post is incorrect. We're talking chickens living in egg factories, being fed whatever versus free roaming pasture raised chickens. This has led us to supporting our local farmers more where and when we can. My kids can 100% tell the difference in the eggs we buy and where. The bright orange yemita is top tier.

Yeah, those "factory" hens get fed garbage…….sure……why not? They never get the chance to peck the corn and maggots out of cow crap.

Exactly!
Corn, Maggots, Grubs - good protein.
Steroids, Hormones, Genetically Modified Feed - not so good.

Everything he's saying is incorrect. Yolk color has nothing to do with the nutrient content. It's simply the color of what they eat. Add green food coloring to their feed and you would have green yolks for St. Patty's day. If the chicken isn't getting every nutrient it needs to reproduce it won't lay eggs.

Turkey eggs? No thanks, I prefer chicken.

Frankly I'm shocked anyone even looks at the price of eggs when they buy them. Who really cares if they are $5 or $10.

Thx, I've been waiting for some poultry science folks to join in.

I admit to buying 'garbage' eggs mainly, but it's just so easy to cheap out when using the online apps for grocery shopping.

Maybe get rid of free range chickens that eat bird poop that has the virus, so you don't have to kill millions of chickens to stop the spread?

---

So put *all* the chickens in torture camps instead? I'm not an animal rights nut, but the living conditions of egg factory chickens are pretty appalling.

---

Cage Free seems the safest way to raise them. Free Range is not.
