Retailers like Trader Joe's and Kroger have started limiting egg purchases due to ongoing bird flu outbreaks decimating the chicken supply. Prices have soared over 15% since January as farmers had to cull millions of hens. Trader Joe's restricts customers to buying one or two dozen eggs per day, while Kroger imposes a two-dozen limit per customer per trip in some divisions. The bird flu outbreak has affected nearly 160 million birds, leading to a scarcity of eggs and rising prices. Experts are uncertain about how long it will take for the situation to improve. Retailers hope to prevent hoarding by implementing these limits. The hoarding behavior may be short-lived due to the perishability of eggs. So, grab your eggs while you can, but don't chicken out on sharing!
