Shelves half empty, but I was still able to buy top quality eggs for $3.89 a Dozen here in SW Virginia.

About 50/50 here on availability. Some days there are plenty, but the next day the shelves are empty. Just have to be in the right place/store at the right time.
I eat a lot of eggs, so I stock up when I can.

They are trying to get the chickens to mask up but their beaks poke holes in them...

Sounds like a business opportunity, making billions of disposable chicken masks with little spring loaded doors so they can eat. ;)

To date there has been no shortage around here but I haven’t looked for a while. We’re planning on a big grocery shop in Thursday so I’ll look then. We don’t eat a lot of eggs and are always turning down eggs from my son who has more than a dozen chickens. Not sure if they are laying in these current cold temps but he hold me they laid all thru December which surprised him.

We are over in central SC for a couple days, I went with the daughter just a little bit ago to grab a few things.
We did grab an eighteen count, they had plenty.

I just got back from visiting the same Food Lion grocery store mentioned in Post 1 in this thread .... while there I made it a point to check the cooler where they stock eggs .... at some point between being there yesterday and today, they had restocked .... there were numerous boxes labeled to have had 15 dozen cartons of medium to Jumbo size eggs .... it was easy to see that they had already sold the vast majority of the eggs .... I'd be willing to bet that they will be sold out rather quickly .... I picked up a dozen Jumbos, haven't bought any this size in literally decades ....

I prefer the fresh over store bought any day.
