Eggs to rise

[TheOtherHalf]

An egg shortage coming, so they are saying on the news this morning. The prices will go up of course. Can we manage without them ? How much do you pay for yours ?

I get my free range from a local farm shop 90p for 6. They are beautiful. Had one for breakfast this morning. I dont eat a lot, but eggs are in so many things, so we probably cant mange without them.

werent they hanging the chickens up whilst still alive and then slitting their throats ??? I couldnt watch it properly

How does an egg shortage come about? Are there less chickens. Is it an artificial concept to force up the price?

[TheOtherHalf]

eggsactly !! and the OP was only ever about the price of eggs !!

[MustangLady]

I work in catering industry (Cafe) and we purchase large boxes of eggs (360 per box) at a time. We'd been warned of the shortage over 2 wks ago, in that time the price of the box for us to purchase has gone up by £20. Our supplier has even said they are stopping supplies until the price goes back down again as lots of their customers (mainly cafes/diners etc) are taking them off them menu for time being or putting their own prices up to cover their costs.

Dave - the EU regs came in force about how chickens are looked after,this has forced farmers (some) to make changes to equipment which are proving costly

lol, has he got pink hair now (well worth the £20 that was)

From what I understand from the news at Lunchtime from the Beeb, is 4 EU ccountries have not/are not complying with the new regulations therefore they cannot export their eggs legally. This means a shortage (apparently) therefore the price is going to increase.

I pay 85p for 10.
