Doesn't really matter where you get it. Any chicken less expensive then 10 bucks a pound came from an animal whose legs broke under its own perverse weight and just sort of slid around a floor caked in 6 inches of feces and dead animals.

I remember hearing someone mention that Costco was working on building their own chicken farms because it's apparently really hard for them to source decent quality chicken in large quantities.

I wouldn’t say $10/lb is the threshold, but it’s close. My folks raise meat birds on a very small scale and they sell for approximately $7-8/lb. They are raised and fed outdoors (and get moved around the farm)and have pretty good lives up until they are killed. Places that raise them on a scale like Costco buys them at? It’s pretty horrific and the chickens are not treated well. Beef is a little different, but not a lot.

I have never in my life even seen chicken even close to that price. That includes Super Organic Local Non-GMO Free Range Personally Massaged Spoke with Professional Therapist chickens.

Do you literally buy your chicken from a chicken producing deity that lives next door to you? Raising your own chickens and giving them daily blow jobs is probably cheaper than that.

There's a place near me that charges $13 for a dozen eggs. Their chicken price is over $10 per pound. I've never bought it but, yeah, sometimes even chicken can be expensive depending on how it's raised.

I would absolutely be willing to pay into a ration system that ensures ethical treatment of animals from birth to harvest and spreads the sustainable yields out among everyone but lol at the idea that the ethical solution is rich people get animals products and poors don't. Having enough money to throwdown on meat doesn't actually make it more moral if you're eating the same amount it's just a cowardly way of saying you deserve it when others don't.

Those eggs are more expensive than any egg I've ever seen

I mean here's an article form Eataly, which is an Italian themed botique supermarket in Manhattan that basically functions on selling only bullshit that can support the most ludicrous markups

https://www.eataly.com/us_en/magazine/eataly-stories/pullet-eggs/

tldr: Eggs laid by pasture raised heritage breed hens less than a year old for only a few weeks of their life, which are only available seasonally, which have a developed and saleable reputation as being the best egg you could possibly eat, and which are being sold in a store that can and happily will do a 10x markup from their buying costs in one of the wealthiest few square miles in the world, are being sold for $4.20 a dozen.

That ad copy, jesus. Pullet eggs are eaten by the farmer because they are too small to sell, not because they are better tasting. I have hens and the eggs they were producing as pullets weren't noticeably different in flavor than what they are producing now, just smaller. Still a lot better than the supermarket eggs though.
