About Finance Chicken
A joke, not financial advice.
What it is
Finance Chicken is a joke site with one real number in it. Once a month the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the average price of a dozen eggs. A small program reads that number each morning and a cartoon hen reacts to it: smug when eggs are cheap, panicked when they are dear. The site also has a chart of the monthly price since 2017 and three small games.
Where the numbers come from
The price is the Bureau's series for eggs, grade A, large, per dozen, U.S. city average (series APU0000708111). The data is public domain. The site is not made or endorsed by the Bureau. In one month, October 2025, the Bureau published no price; the home page says so next to the comparison with a year ago. The price is an average for the country, not what your shop charges.
What it is not
Nothing on this site says to buy, sell or hold anything, eggs included. It is a joke, not financial advice. There is no sign-up, and the scores in the games stay on your device.
Who makes it and how it is paid for
Finance Chicken is made and run by one person. The site is free. Ads from Google AdSense may be added after Google approves the site. Ads would not change the price or the hen, and advertisers would not get your name or your scores. The privacy page explains what will change if ads are added.
