Got eggs?
Last week, I read an article that an egg-production facility in Cokato, Minnesota, went up in flames. The facility produces upwards of six million eggs a day. Tragically, tens of thousands of hens died.
This fire is yet another nail in the coffin of egg availability. Bird flu panic has caused millions upon millions of chickens to be culled, creating shortages and price increases like crazy.
Additionally, the state of Georgia has halted all poultry-related activities due to bird flu concerns. This means all “in-state poultry exhibitions, shows, swaps, meets, and sales are suspended until further notice,” with a corresponding massive ripple effect over multiple industries.
Now the prognosis is that egg prices will stay elevated forever. Seems a little pessimistic, but there you go.
The shortages (and elevated prices) have hit locally as well. A couple weeks ago while in our local grocery store, I saw this:
The less expensive eggs were cleaned out, while the pricier ones remained.
We seldom buy eggs, since we keep them on hand mostly for baking. But for those who depend on eggs for an inexpensive source of protein, these prices and shortages must be hitting hard.
We’re hoping to get a coop built and start a flock of chickens this summer. In the meantime, when we need eggs, I’m grateful we can buy them from the nice older couple down the road who usually charges $3.50 a dozen.
