Spooked by a huge spike in egg prices, some consumers in the United States are taking steps to secure their own future supply. Demand for chicks that will grow into egg-laying chickens – which jumped at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 – is rapid again as the 2023 selling season starts, leaving hatcheries scrambling to keep up.
“As there are more and more shortages, it’s driving more people to want to raise their own food,” Ms Stevenson observed on a January afternoon, as 242 callers to the hatchery sat on hold, presumably waiting to stock up on their own chicks and chick-adjacent accessories. Prices on a wide variety of products have popped in recent years as unusually strong demand for goods – spurred by pandemic lifestyle changes and savings amassed from stimulus checks – choked global shipping routes and overwhelmed factories and other producers. Those problems have only been compounded by Russia’s war in Ukraine, which has disrupted global food and energy supplies.
Prices for eggs have started to decline: The Agriculture Department said this week that the average price of a carton of large eggs was just under US$3.40, down from more than US$5.00 at the start of the year.
