Local Fred Meyer, which has always been full shelves, has half the egg shelves bare and a sign limiting to 3 cartons.
Which set the stage for ...
The highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak appears to have slowed in recent weeks, but U.S. egg inventories in the final week of December were 29% percent lower than at the beginning of the year due to the virus. At the end of December, more than 43 million egg-laying hens had been lost to the disease itself or to depopulation since the outbreak began in February 2022.
According to the USDA, losses were spread across two waves: from February to June (30.7 million hens) and from September to December (12.6 million hens).

Folks, it doesn’t look like eating yolks has any benefit.
You would need to extract the antibodies and inject them, from what I’ve gathered.
This is written by someone piecing together things without seemingly doing the actual research needed.
>> Just a fraction of the chicken and egg factories burning down
Any investigations, any arrests? I’d imagine the insurance companies are not pleased.
And not to forget the recent chicken farm fire in CT
Is the material from egg yolk injected or is it taken orally? Do bakery foods with egg yolks have the same protection if the method is taken orally?
If they would have any affect at all, the yolks would most likely have to be runny. Which does happen to be the way I like them. ;)
LOL! It seems to happen a lot lately and gets lapped up like milk by some posters/readers.
IF there is something wrong with the feed, an analysis should be able to determine changes in the feed or other problems. Has ANYONE who has made the claims they have, had the feed analyzed? My guess is no, because if they come forward with a claim based on a fake or botched analysis, that could be actionable by TSC or Purina.
People who claim the feed is the problem - GET THE FEED ANALYZED.
No, you state the REAL reason as early as possible in your article!
No need to be "coy," or attempt to "bury" the important information farther down in the article!

An Aussie youtuber who does gardening videos was talking about that. He was specifically addressing the propaganda being spread by the media that keeping chickens is bad. The media is promoting so many bad things about chickens you would think they are the biggest threat to humanity.

I love my own egg nog that I have made since I was a kid. Now I put a shot of rum in it and the taste is fantastic.
“egg farms keep burning down all over America.”
BULLSHIRT!
SHARK WEEK!
CHICKEN WEEK!
EGG WEEK!
CHINESE BALLOON WEEK!
If eggs get in too short supply and/or too pricey I’ll just have to get some chickens and feed them corn.
DON’T PANIC! Most of the news stories you see are all lies.
>Most of the news stories you see are all lies.
Anyone who has been on FR for any length of time should understand that. And for back up, I strongly recommend Ron Unz’s American Pravda series at Unz.com.

This is what happens when people lose faith in the institutions that normally provide the truth.
We can't trust our government, we can't trust our schools/colleges/universities, we can't trust the media. Even science itself has collapsed as a purveyor of truth due to the biases attached to research funding.
Oh boy the kooks are going into overdrive.
The reason egg prices are so high is inflation and the worst case of avian flu the country has ever seen.
Factor farms produce 98% of eggs. And they dont get their feed from TSC.
BTW my co-worker gives me eggs produced on TSC feed. No drop in production....
Tucker Carlson had a farmer on his show last week talking about this, said some of the chickens haven’t laid eggs in a year. Switched feed and they started laying eggs again.
“Credible online claims like this (she now feeds a goat mix) have emerged, corroborated by others, that the popular “Producer’s Pride” chicken feed sold by the Tractor Supply chain has been recently altered and that its new formulation is causing chickens to stop laying eggs. The reduction in egg production has been reported to be much greater than the normal decrease seen during the winter months, with some farmers reporting that their hens are laying zero eggs.”
not this shit again ... commercial egg farms buy their feed by the trainload, NOT a few bags from tractor supply
hens quit laying eggs in the winter due to lack of light not from a mysterious mystery ... that’s why commercial growers use artificial lights and knowledgeable backyard growers do the same ...
and the main reason for the egg shortage is an avian virus that wiped out tens of millions of laying hens ...
“Tucker Carlson had a farmer on his show”
“a farmer” ... yeah, that’s the ticket, “A FARMER” ...
carlson has devolved into nothing but a conspiracy nutjob ... that’s why his “guests” are all nothing but a bunch of nimrods no one has ever heard of before, who never add anything to carlson’s spiel, but simply repeat back his words with a few minor changes ... no reasonable person will go on his show anymore ... well, maybe except for “a farmer” ...
