Egg panic in my area.

[Jdeere562]

I can buy them locally from a farmer for $4.00 per dozen.
Free range chickens with those really dark yolk eggs.
Washed or unwashed, your choice. I hear you can store unwashed eggs on the counter,
but I have never tried that.

Ya they are covered in a mucus like stuff that seals them once laid.

I'm guessing this scene would cost a fortune today...

Egg shortage? This is about 15 minutes from the house.

Sixty-two cent oopsie.

Have the farmers that do have eggs been able to raise their prices, or is this strictly "demand pricing" at higher levels?

The government pays farms for loss of production due to bird flu, so the farmers have little reason to care. (Without this policy though, there would be an incentive to put tainted eggs on the market.)

For an answer to this question, just check out Cal-Maine Foods stock (ticker CALM). They are one of the biggest egg producers. Stock has nearly doubled in the last year.

Eggs are $6.00 a dozen here. I cut my intake in half. Going for oatmeal and fruit some days.

Every day here

I get my eggs from "Eli" - he's an 8th-grade student in 4H that raises chickens and sells the eggs. $4/dozen. I love the variety of colors and the sizes we get.

Dozen eggs at Kroger are $5.50, but 'cage-free' are only $3.99. That seems odd. Walmart is $3.99/dozen for their regular, factory-born eggs.

$5.46 a dozen here.

I don’t understand everyone’s obsession over this whole egg thing.

If I buy a dozen eggs, I’ll probably throw 1/2 of them out at the end of the month. It isn’t that big of a deal.

I've put in a call to FEMA (Federal Egg Management Agency).

People are animals.

Herd animals.

Making meatloaf today without eggs. I will see how that turns out.

Glad our stupid chickens started laying again after a few months hiatus. They were getting expensive to feed plus eggs are running higher here as well.

$11.08 for 2 dozen at Meijer last night. Last time I bought the price was around $8.50 for the same package.

You can put some lights over them and turn them on at 5 am and they will start laying like normal.

Was at a grocery store 5 days ago and the egg prices were covered up with a sticker that said sorry for the inconvenience they had a fair amount of eggs. Don't need eggs that bad enough to buy at a mystery price.

Last night, Coscto was cleared out entirely when I got there. Same with the closest Sprouts.

In TJ, Mexico now, just got 32 eggs for a little under $5 US. Too bad they don't keep like oil. No shortage of any kind. 2 miles away in the US there is a panic. Wild

Yep. I have cut way back on eggs. I'm not playing this pseudo-toilet paper game
