BLACK SHEEP’S CHICKEN RANCH

The price of eggs has gone too high for many of us to eat them as often as we used to. It suddenly jumped from about $2.50 a dozen to over $7 and in the past few days I’ve been hearing about prices nearing $20 a dozen, though most prices are a lot lower than that.

A huge feed company called Tractor Supply has been the top chicken feed provider to egg farms and they did something to the chicken feed because all the chickens across America that were being fed this stuff, stopped laying eggs. Naturally, that drove up the price of eggs a lot higher than it already was from the egg ranch burnings, chicken ranch burnings and mysteriously sudden outbreaks all over of Bird Flu that forced the slaughter of 58 MILLION chickens and turkeys. That’s a hell of a lot of bird meat.

I’ve been thinking of replacing my aging old birds with a couple of new hens, but changed my mind. I use a dozen eggs a week at most. Usually less. If I’m paying $8 a dozen and use 3 dozen a month, that’s $24. A bag of feed that will feed them for 5 weeks at most, is $25 plus I have to take care of them and be responsible for them. A pair of young hens will lay a dozen eggs a week at a cost of $5 a dozen. It makes more sense to get rid of my old birds, not get new ones, and just buy the eggs. It’s cold in winter here and the chickens stop laying for 6 months but keep on eating, so over a year those eggs cost me $10 a dozen.

I previously posted in a related subject that as our population is being whittled down, the people of Africa will be mostly wiped out because the Globalists aren’t going to want all those low-IQ non-contributing consumers to continue using up resources. I figure that starvation and diseases will be the way this is accomplished, and found this in the news this morning, posted on the Washington Standard: “Across Africa, from east to west, people are experiencing a food crisis that is bigger and more complex than the continent has ever seen, say diplomats and humanitarian workers.”

We’re running out of phosphorous rock to mine, which is a vital part of commercial fertilizer. Eventually all that will be gone and a big part of the global annual food supply along with it because everything that lives and grows needs it including us.

I’ve been saying for years that overpopulation was going to catch up with us and we’d out-eat our food supply. For decades science has been working to keep up with our numbers, creating better strains of wheat and other food plants, developing faster growing and meatier farm animals. There’s a limit to all this including Genetically Modified (GMO) foods and it may have been reached.

Food shortages are increasing all over the world. We don’t feel it much in the West where we still have the best, most efficient food production and are prosperous enough to keep paying the rising prices, but that’s not true for the East, where the massive populations have long ago outstripped their ability to adequately feed themselves. It has never taken much to tip India and China over the edge into famine and Africa is certainly no stranger to repeated terrible famines.

Wheat, corn, beans and potato harvests, our main sources of starch, are down. People can’t eat food that isn’t there or pay for it when the price has soared so high because of scarcity that they can’t afford it. Of all the world, the nations of Africa are the poorest and I expect they’ll be the first to go.

All this is in the process of happening. It’s slow and orchestrated so the public doesn’t suddenly wake up and cause a lot of civil unrest, but it’s steadily going on and increasing. Prices of food will keep going up because they intend for them to, caused by the scarcities that they create.

This is global, not local. I keep saying, BE PREPARED and you’re running out of time.
