It appears that it is regional and spotty, if you go through this thread you'll see where some have seen bare spots, while others have noticed nothing different other than price increases. The thread is 10 months running, so I'll just have to see what unfolds in time. Time tells all.
I think part of this has to do with the number of remote shoppers and all those Walmart employees pushing the big online carts. Not enough employees to restock due to filling online orders.
$7 a dozen at the grocery store in my current location but the shelves are mostly full.
Blown away. I went online to order some day old chicks to renew my flock as I normally do every 2 years. Wanted a specific breed rather than getting them at a local store as I usually do. These day old chicks below are $92 each!!! Sorry they are sold out.

Why contraband eggs are piling up at the US-Mexico border
With the price of eggs in California nearly tripling in the past year, many people are going farther to find cheaper prices, even crossing the border into Mexico. But at the San Ysidro crossing between San Diego and Tijuana, hundreds and hundreds of eggs are sitting behind closed doors.
Rosie Maizuss, chief agricultural specialist with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, is responsible for all food entering the port. She explained why the eggs are sitting at the crossing.
“They are here because eggs are prohibited from Mexico,” she told KTLA.
Eggs have been expensive all year, how soon could we see relief?
Maizuss said her agents are seizing more eggs than ever before at the border.
“Hundreds upon hundreds of people bringing boxes. All of these eggs will be destroyed,” she said.
The primary reason the eggs are destroyed is that they can potentially carry HPAI, better known as bird flu. An outbreak of the disease is of the main reasons for the skyrocketing price of eggs nationally.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports the average national price for a dozen eggs is just under $3.40. Just a year ago, it was $1.30. That’s about a 161% increase in costs.
“(Bird flu) is approximately in 47 states,” Maizuss explained. “It cost a lot to eradicate, and we depend a lot on this product. So, we basically want to get rid of this problem, so want to take care of this risk.”
From the border crossing station, the eggs will be taken to a nearby waste facility where they’ll be steamed, sterilized and thrown away. Officials at the border say they’re throwing out thousands of eggs per week.
According to Maizuss, people are saying they are purchasing eggs in Mexico for their families because of the high cost of eggs in the U.S.
Hanson Car, from Los Angeles, was one of those people stopped at the border for trying to bring in two cartons of eggs. Car said he didn’t know bringing the eggs in from Mexico was illegal.
“We eat every day at least two eggs,” he said. “I know about the bird flu in the U.S., but I did not know it has to do with Mexico.”
People who turn their eggs in at the border are free to go, but if you’re caught smuggling eggs into the country, you can face civil penalties or fines.
