I’m just a backyard chicken farmer in rural America, but my input costs have remained steady. I’m feeding the same high-quality feed and grain supplement. I have cut back on meal worm treats - too expensive - but my chickens get daily fresh vegetable scraps. My hens are now way past their viability from a commercial perspective - but we still get more eggs than we need. Where I feel the pain at the grocery is butter - prices have definitely more than doubled, discounts/ coupons seem rare. I stood there with another shopper the other day and it was clear neither of us knew what to do, pondering our $6+ fate for generic brand stuff.
