[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Egg prices are fine in DC and eggs are available.  Who is trying to start some sort of a misinformation campaign?[/quote]

Costco in Wheaton and the Safeway in Kensington had ZERO eggs as of 8pm last evening (Tuesday)[/quote]

You mean right after the big snow freak out back to school shopping? [/quote]

Recognizing that there is an egg shortage and the egg prices are high won’t make you Maga or Republican or conservative. It’s OK to accept the truth. [/quote]

Except that I’ve never experienced a shortage of eggs minus maybe early pandemic. And the only eggs that are expensive are the free range ones.

You really need this omg the eggs thing to be true.

The only shortage is I saw last week were like the comfort foods like cheese and things like that right before the snow. Which I mostly thought was funny. It was clear there was a lot of baking and casseroles about to happen. [/quote]

There is an actual egg shortage due to the avian flu which killed over 17 million egg-laying hens in the last two months of 2024.

The shortage will hopefully be addressed as farms are able to replace the hens but it takes time to raise a chicken, plus they have to continue to control spread of bird flu. May not truly be addressed until summer as more hens mature and can begin producing eggs.

The shortage can be worse in some areas than other based on local farm production, or higher demand due to something like a major storm. But the storm didn't cause the shortage, just exacerbated it.

But yes, there is an egg shortage right now and it's weird you are insisting there is not. Did you go buy eggs today? I did and there were not any on the shelves at my local supermarket, the fourth time that has happened to me in the last week.[/quote]
