Supermarkets are rationing sales as poultry industry grapples with spiraling costs and bird flu
Egg shortages and rationing in the UK are expected to last beyond Christmas, an industry body has warned, as the poultry industry grapples with spiraling costs and its worst ever bout of bird flu.
Lidl is limiting customers to three boxes of eggs each, while Asda is restricting purchases to two boxes per shopper.
Tesco is also considering rationing eggs, after bird flu resulted in shortages on some supermarket shelves. Other supermarkets are sourcing eggs abroad, including Italy.

WNU Editor: I know avian flu is having a role. But the price of energy is not helping.
The place where I buy organic eggs told me that for him and the producer to make money on this product, the cost has to be $1/egg!!!!!! The number one reason being the price of energy/fuel.
Sighhh .... it is back to regular eggs for me.

I hope things improve by Easter

Atta boy WNU.
Organic is great but get outta here with your $1 eggs. A profiteer, no doubt.
I think the limit at the UK groceries is a prudent move.
Try raising your on chickens. It's actually pretty easy. Hardest thing is to protect them from predators who want to eat them.
Chickens will eat anything that does not eat them. Small snakes, dead and buried kittens, poisonous spiders, each other ...
Chickens are hypocrites. They know what a knife is and they know how it works.
Food and energy rationing in the supposedly dominant and wealthiest countries on the planet in 2022.
Stay the course lads. We'll be in Moscow by January!
