Egg shortage again.

[Hooper]

The price that they are at now, has caused a shortage at my house, whether there is a shortage or not.
I used to eat Eggs daily, sometimes twice a day, when they were under $2.00/dozen.
I have had hens before in the past, and decided that cost of feed was about a break even for farm raised vs store eggs. So I quit that. Plus every time I wanted to go somewhere for extended periods, I would have to find a caretaker for them.

Went to the commissary last Wednesday and they only had the pricier brown eggs.

Winco(Moore) had plenty of all kinds and prices didn't seem too out of line. Dz of jumbo regular eggs was $3.78. I think 18 of Egglands Best was $5.50 or so. Haven't bought any in quite a while since neighbor has chickens. They're molting now so production slowed way down. Free eggs again soon!

I don’t know about that….. but my 11 hens were giving me 8-10 daily and all of a sudden I’m only getting 5-6. I know about the light issues and I provide a light in the coop to offset the earlier sunset etc.

Extra light won't offset the molt though and its that time of year

Whole Foods and WM Neighborhood Mkt. had plenty of eggs. Not cheap though.

It was on world news tonight that there is and egg shortage related to bird flu and the upcoming holidays increased usage.

Probably like other folks did that watched the broadcast we ran over to Homeland by the house and picked up a couple dozen.....they had already been picked over pretty good.

Storage wise Google says that eggs will last in the frig for 3-5 weeks.

Eggs will last that long on the counter. Twice as long in the fridge. I bought eggs at Braums yesterday for $6 and change per dozen and about schit when I saw the price. My usual braums run is $35ish and I paid out $72. FJB
