DC area has the worst panic buyers. This is my guess why stores are running out. I’m from a northern state that regularly gets dumped on with snow. Never before had a witnessed the extreme panic buying that happens in DC before a few inches of snow is due. The bread, milk, and TP will be totally gone from all stores. It’s insane. This is probably why eggs seem scarce, but they aren’t.

It’s bc a massive supplier in Georgia that usually distributes to our area had to be quarantined and many wiped out, plus another one in Lehigh valley, plus an insane amount of eggs were stolen in central Pa from a distributor - like 40,000 eggs or something like that. So there is a sudden shortage in this area.
I’m pretty sure the egg robber plans to sell eggs in the streets - but where does one store that many eggs?

And what are you doing with them? How many eggs do you people eat that this is such a problem?

There are 4 of us, we each eat 2 breakfast M-F.

2x per person per day
8 per day/ 5 days a week

40 eggs

But we can eat bagels which maga apparently couldn’t do when Biden was in office and frump promised to reduce costs.

40 a week

Time to purchase your own chicken

bird flu found in montgomery county backyard chickens.

Are wild geese flying from coop to coop to make out with chickens? I don't understand how this virus spreads.

Any new baby chicks that you buy will be bird flu free, and they will be safe in your basement, back yard, balcony.

Fecal matter. Ever been pooped on by a bird?

It's also spread on shoes, tires, machinery/tools, etc. at impacted feed lots and farms.

Basement, yes, as they're completely cut off from wild birds. Balcony, maybe not, depending on layout. Back yard roaming alone offers no protection from wild birds transmitting virus.

If you have your chickens in a backyard coop, all the time, and that coop is in a secondary enclosure with full roof and tight mesh walls far enough away from the interior coop to keep wild birds completely away, they're probably safe. I don't know anyone with this setup.

It’s believed to be aerosolized, so feces etc dust containing feces being blown about, but it’s believed to be the starlings who often roost in the facility eaves or fans or roof overhangs that spread it from wild to domesticated poultry and now cattle. You know those huge fans blowing air around the egg laying facilities? And this clade is highly infectious (hence the name Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (except now this clade was found in four herds of dairy cattle for the first time).
Check out CIDRAP for info, there should be a new podcast today episode 176 and should explain more- I hope.

Perhaps reconsider your breakfast choices if this is impacting you so much. No one needs eggs 7 days a week. You’ll live if you skip eggs for a day or two.

That will not be safe. It would have to be completely air tight with frequent air changes going ONLY through a hepa filter (which one could make with box fan and filters - Corsi box) and no cracks or other air - there would have to be a two door air-lock entrance to contain air and filter it and sticky mats at door and I’m not even sure that would work.
If chicken kept inside completely, in a house, there can’t be a dog or cat that goes outdoors either.
How would you know if the chicks you buy are free of disease?

Are people eating all of these eggs just for breakfast? Or are you doing something else with them? Just stop eating eggs. Trust me you won't die or starve.
DH doesn't like eggs and I'm vegan. What items are you eating that is using all of these eggs?

Eggs are used in most baked good and lots of recipes. It's not just about limiting egg salad sandwiches, breakfast items and deviled eggs.

I cook for my meat-eating DH every night, and not once have I ever stopped and said "dang, I need eggs for this meal". Are people baking cakes and cookies every night and making your own pasta? Honestly, what are you cooking every day that requires eggs?
