WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.439
<v Speaker 1>And this is KF I A M six forty bill

2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:06.799
<v Speaker 1>handle here, and since it is Friday, it is time

3
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:12.359
<v Speaker 1>for Foody Friday with Neil, Sabaiedra and Me coming up

4
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>right after this segment. It's asked handle anything, which is

5
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>always fine, all right, Neil, Yes, we do Foody Friday.

6
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I have a very deep philosophical question. Oh boy, since

7
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>birds are killing us now right, well, it's or we're

8
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 1>on we're on pandemic. Yeah, yeah, So what's going to

9
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>kill us first? The chicken or the egg?

10
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, that's that's what you want to lead with. Oh,

11
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I don't know. I do know that

12
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.240
<v Speaker 2>one of the questions that I've been asked a lot

13
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 2>lately is how come egg prices are going up. One

14
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 2>of the reasons is the Avian flu. The second is

15
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>just you know, economic inflation right now, and that's where

16
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.599
<v Speaker 2>we are. But the the avian flu has been a

17
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>huge part of it. You know that they have to

18
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 2>proactively kill a lot of egg laying hens because of

19
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>concern about the avian flu. So if one gets it,

20
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>then to protect other parts of the flock, they actually

21
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 2>have to destroy it.

22
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>Going back to my joke, which turns only out to

23
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 1>be half a joke usually is yes, sometimes a quarter

24
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>of a joke. You would think that because of the

25
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:40.079
<v Speaker 1>culling of the flocks, I mean the destruction of entire flows, millions, millions,

26
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Why aren't the the chickens that are used, you know,

27
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 1>the cooking chickens, eating chickens. Why aren't they affected like

28
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the eggs?

29
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there are two types of chickens. So the hens

30
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>that lay the eggs are egg laying hens. The other

31
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>chickens that we eat or you're going to get your

32
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 2>rotissey chicken. And those prices aren't going through the roof

33
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 2>or anything. They are roasters. They're two different chickens. And

34
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>not only are they two different chickens, but they are

35
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 2>raised differently as well. So the hen laying or the

36
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.919
<v Speaker 2>egg laying hens tend to be in migrant they're in

37
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 2>tighter quarters, they're older because you're using them for long.

38
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>You're not killing them for meat. Now you're killing off

39
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>the roaster chickens at a young age six eight weeks

40
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is, and so they're not living long enough

41
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 2>to often catch this. Plus they're not in the migratory

42
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>paths of certain birds that are carrying the disease over,

43
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 2>so it's not hitting them. It hits them a little bit,

44
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>but it doesn't hit them to the degree. So it's

45
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 2>not passed along to us in any way, shape or form,

46
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>because they're not being destroyed the same way. So you

47
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 2>can still go out and get chicken or you know,

48
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>we had the Super Bowl, people were going out get

49
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 2>chicken wings. Totally different situation. The birds that the hens

50
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>that are laying the eggs are around much longer, they're

51
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 2>in different quarters, and they come across other birds depending

52
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>on where they are. And you know what's nuts. I mean,

53
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>we're down to I don't know, one hundred million egg

54
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 2>laying birds right now or something. We almost have to

55
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 2>have one egg laying chicken per person in the United

56
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>States to be at the.

57
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 1>Normal rationships three times.

58
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>But isn't that insane? Like it takes. That's about what

59
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 2>it is. It's somewhere around three hundred and let's say,

60
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 2>eighteen three hundred and twenty million hens, and we're around

61
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and some odd million righting.

62
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.639
<v Speaker 1>But you know you're right, For example, you still get

63
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 1>the rotisserie chicken. We talked about that earlier this morning

64
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>at Costco, And the other day it was at Costco,

65
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 1>because I'm always at Costco, and I know you buy

66
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>a rotisserie chicken, it's still five bucks and they give

67
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:09.479
<v Speaker 1>you a thermometer.

68
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 2>They throw it in.

69
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>It is.

70
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's a loss leader of course for them, of course,

71
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 2>but it is. People do get confused when they say, well,

72
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 2>aren't we killing off the chickens? And how come we're

73
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.040
<v Speaker 2>able to get decent prices When you look at eggs.

74
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 2>We just paid nine dollars or something for eggs at

75
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>the local grocery store for a dozen eggs.

76
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

77
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>That's nine bucks.

78
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>What should they be? What? What considering inflation.

79
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Around three dollars?

80
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I think.

81
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Fifty Yeah, I mean that that could still be Yeah,

82
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>that would probably be about the norm, maybe maybe even

83
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 2>a little lower. They can be very inexpensive when we

84
00:04:58.560 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>are in complete balance.

85
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>So how long does it take to bring back the

86
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 1>flocks to the point where we hit normal production?

87
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 2>You know there, I've seen different and red different different

88
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 2>timelines as to what it would take. But we're definitely

89
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.959
<v Speaker 2>not going to turn it around overnight. I mean you're

90
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 2>looking at I was reading about someone breaking down how

91
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people want to start their own little

92
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>egg farms in their in their backyard. A lot of

93
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 2>people are doing that, and they're even saying don't buy

94
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:40.680
<v Speaker 2>an adult chicken or hand to raise them from chicks,

95
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 2>to control their environment and how they're raised in all

96
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 2>of those things. So it does take to get to

97
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 2>maturity to start laying eggs does take some times. And

98
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 2>of course you know that's part of the egg laying

99
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 2>processes as well. They're just not eating them, they're fertilizing them.

100
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 2>And and when you have a shortage, now you're using

101
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.120
<v Speaker 2>some of those eggs to create more.

102
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.319
<v Speaker 1>You are you using less eggs in your life? I am?

103
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 1>I am?

104
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean we go. I've got an eight year

105
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 2>old boy, so and I love eggs. I think eggs

106
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 2>are a cheap, easy protein and you know, and they're tasty.

107
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 2>So but yeah, I eat a little less eggs these days,

108
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>just you know. But we we still keep them in

109
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>the house. They're still there, all right.

110
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Neil, Oh, tomorrow you do the Fork Report.
