Is there any sign of feed prices coming down in the near future ? Any more rises and it will be unsustainable

Not worth the effort of feeding a few garden birds now ,,baged mixed feed is £10.50 and they still need feeding through winter and dont lay anything

Not that I can see, wheat prices still rising, soya oil still creeping up, soya meal seems to be holding fairly firm.
What are you paying a ton for peak lay, are you on a feed price tracker contract?

Very few new egg units going up at the moment. What is the free range egg price at the moment?

I agree although I didn’t know feed was that expensive!
25p a dozen as a minimum and all our packer says is ‘we keep telling the retailers the price needs to go up but they aren’t paying as yet’
Producers need to organise and all of us crush the eggs for a week.

And shelves, but they don't seem to worry about that do they?

Not at the moment they don't its all 'we can't sell them if we're not competitive '
But when people are asking how much to kill birds in rear its bloody serious, nobody is trying to profiteer out of the situation we just need to pass the cost on
All getting very serious. Currently paying £480 for organic layer 1. Due a price rise of £35 tonne minimum 1st of April! So looking at a minimum of £65 tonne increase since 31st December. Beyond June there is no guarantee of supply. Egg price increase? Big fat zero. Eggs due to be set for next flock which may well cost me £7 + per bird. Supermarkets need a a message sending that involves NO eggs on there shelves as that is the only thing they will understand!

Can you say who your packer is and what price they offered?
I have had the conversation.
