More than likely just an excuse to raise prices.
They said the same thing about coffee recently and I never saw any shortages, just prices going up.
Probably a good way to unload aging stock. Cause a little panic buying and people will flock to the stores and clean out the shelves. Look at the "use by" dates. If the dates are close, it's likely stuff that has been in the store for a while. Just don't go crazy. New stuff will show up soon.

There is a confirmed bird flu. My brother who retired recently from the USDA doing animal disease, confirmed it. It happens every year it seems. Swine flu happens also, and all those animals that test positive are destroyed. The gap is filled within a month with new egg layers or pigs.
Get over your conspiracy theories and be grateful your not being sold eggs that will kill you.

Eggs have about doubled in price, in the last 2 weeks.

We picked a 15 doz box at Sam's, Saturday. $2.32 / doz.
The doz and 3 doz cartons were pushing $4. The price will go up until New Year.

You ain't really Rocky Balboa are you? Just asking, I seen a movie about Rocky once or twice, he drank raw eggs for breakfast.
Not Rocky for sure but I started this regimen when I got into weight lifting at age 14. I wasnt trying to compete on any level, I just enjoyed the gym as it was cheap and paid off in making the girls think I was hot LOL. I later moved out to the country where there wasnt a gym but I was plenty active with diving T post, digging post holes and building lots of fence by myself. And all the work that one does when you own 8 acres that has nothing on it but a house. Still eat raw eggs just because i like em and I need all the protein. Kinda in line with the carnivore doet.

With all the eggs i have had to deal with and eat all my life raw is one way i just refuse to eat them there is so many other ways to prepare them to my satisfaction but each their own and not say it is bad how ever you decide to eat them eggs just all around is good for you.
