My husband went to the dollar store tonight to get some eggs. They didn't have any and didn't know when they would.
He then went across the street to small mom and pop store. They were out and didn't know when they would get any more. He told him the bigger store in Beebe was low on eggs and didn't know when they would get any more. What is going on here??? Is anyone else seeing this happen in their area.

I so need to learn how to work on a farm......there is just so much to learn.
Hey Pat, I'm just mostly curious about what the answer will be when you ask the store owners about the egg shortage.
The eggs I gathered yesterday where thin-shelled. This means I need to look closer at my chickens calcium supply (oyster shells) which I suspect is still good, or the below zero weather here has stressed them some and affected their calcium uptake, or shell production. Always a learning experience....
I have a work share in chicken flock and a large, organic fruit and vegetable garden and I highly recommend it.
This is a bit off topic, but Sizzle, I have been keenly interested in how the work share idea plays out in day to day life. I would love to learn more about it. Will you consider writing a post on this in the Garden group? Writing a post like this takes a up a lot of time, so if you choose not to, I will understand, but I think it would be a way cool post. :-) Love to learn from your experience there.
weird... I thought Arkansas was chicken country...
I don't eat eggs, or cook with them very often, so it's not something I'd be concerned about for myself... but, I have lots of family that consider eggs a staple --- it'd be really bad if they couldn't find them. Can't wait to hear what you find out. Seems Arkansas is being targeted.
Travel weather has been rough - my husband is out delivering in big truck in it...he has had many slowdowns last couple weeks from snowstorms...that could be a factor
