US Egg Shortage: Soaring Prices Spark Backyard Chicken Boom

The current situation in the United States is marked by a severe shortage of eggs, with prices skyrocketing to over $20 per dozen in some areas. This shortage has been caused by the deaths of over 13 million hens due to bird flu since December last year, resulting in a significant reduction in egg production. Many supermarkets have empty shelves or very limited supplies of eggs, leading to frustration among consumers. The high prices have also led some people to consider raising their own chickens, but experts warn that this may not be a cost-effective solution and that individuals should first check local regulations regarding backyard chicken-keeping.
