I believe they need eggs to develop vaccines for the bird flu, so it's possible supply is being diverted for this cause as well as many flocks being destroyed and it's driving up costs.
I bought a dozen eggs at Whole Foods last week, $4.49 for brown cage free...
Can't wait for Old Don to bring down the price of eggs & cut my energy costs in half...
When he's unable to do that then he will blame the economic policies of Prez Biden & the MAGA cult will fall in line and believe him.
We should all panic buy, driving up the prices even more, but at least we got em cheapest 😎 our fridge will still be full of hard boiled eggs by the time prices drop
H5N1 is pretty much 100% fatal in chickens, so if a farm gets the virus, all the chickens have to be depopulated to prevent spreading it further. All that meat and eggs have to be tossed.
The wild geese (that migrate) are carrying it too, so it’s making it very difficult to contain. 😬
Oof I know. Even currently, it relies on the farmers self reporting, i.e. willingly destroying their profit for the foreseeable future. The benefit of hiding it is too tempting for it to not happen, sooner or later.
I live in an ag county that grows lots of chickens and eggs. We have a butter and egg festival every spring. a disaster has been declared and there is a limit on how many eggs you can buy. let’s blame Trump as soon as he’s sworn in. I’ll draft my letter to the editor now.
because we have the bird flu that’s why you probably couldn’t find the chicken and eggs be eight dollars is because of the bird flu. Oh, by the way egg prices are going up.

my family goes through 40+ a month. I buy 36 at time which don’t last a month. Now that eggs are sooo expensive we have tried cutting back.

a bunch of ppl who do not believe in germ theory are about to take over the federal government and have been taking over the courts for a decade.

Terrified for RFK’s DHSS.
Oh, probably shouldn't let them sit on any walls, either.
Already stocked up on staples.
