What’s REALLY behind the Egg Shortage

[Patchouli]

I bought eggs today! 5.00$ for 18!! EVERYTHING was higher priced than last time I shopped!

Hopefully you will always be able to purchase them or barter somehow for eggs and chickens. Some of my egg friends give them away, some like to have a couple $ for them.

I had a couple not far from me that kept me in a good supply of eggs, but coyotes broke into the chicken house when they were both gone one evening! I need to see if I can get the game cam footage!!

It's the chicken union.

Ought to be a couple good ole boys around to take care of that little issue.

Mine get fed too well to go on strike. And the hens are happier that extra roosters have been dispatched. It was getting a little hinky in those coops.

I saw today that there was going to be a future egg shortage.

 

[Amish Heart]

Geesh. You'd think it was planned or something. Right now, chickens should be laying like crazy.

I don't know anything about a shortage, but the price of eggs at our local store doubled last week. That may be a good indication of a shortage.

 

[Amish Heart]

Or an indication of inflation. Have not noticed egg shortages lately...but did last month at Walmart...the shelf was cleared out entirely. Maybe a shipment didn't come in. I'll have to notice the price on eggs next time I'm filling a cart at Aldi. I feel like I live in an egg bubble, and don't notice much, since the majority of us in our town have chickens and don't buy them. There are a number of people selling at their farms, and going rate now is $3 to $4 a dozen for brown eggs. Am seeing dairy shortages at Walmart and Aldi. On things like sour cream, cream cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese. No shortage on high priced butter. Ha.
