Time to investigate commercial platypus farming perhaps?
Didn't know the egg shortage was so bad

Careful with that bacon grease spatter when cooking in the all together.
The American Heart assoc has more to say about yer "unlimited bacon" regimen and the story is a hardcore one too! Not a clothes optional hardcore, the other kind.

I think getting a straight answer about the egg shortage,is like getting a straight answer on the shortage of twenty two ammo.
Maybe they should start buying their eggs from Walmart? maybe not? I wouldnt trust eggs made in china.

$1.78 a dozen at WM here, as many as you care to buy. I haven't checked at the name brand store.
Local grocery chain put a 3-carton limit per customer in place last night. They had been seeing help from a small restaurant coming in to buy several dozen cartons a day. Discovered that the non-chain restaurants could not get any eggs to speak of from suppliers, so were buying out the grocery store stock.
May be regional, but there is certainly a problem.

The straight answer has been posted. Try reading comprehension.

I've been splattered.
On the arms mostly and once on my stomach.
That was enough for me to figure out there are more delicate places that should be protected.
Reno is close to Petaluma Calif....................
We can get a dozen eggs for 1.25 at Smiths or Scolarie's
and if that does not work, Jack in the Box serves breakfast 24 hours !!

Oddly enough I have tried cooking bacon without a shirt as well. Bad idea...I've been splattered.

I heard it's the same 5 guys lining up every morning buying their 3 carton limit and then flipping them. A friend of a guy next to the guy my neighbor knows told him and he told me. Also, I hear the employees are having all you can eat breakfast buffets in the back room every night when the truck comes in.
It's just not fair.....

Yea but that would make for a pretty dull thread.
I'd like some more thought with regard to post#31
Local mom and pop diner added 25 cent/egg surcharge.
Said their egg cost doubled in one month.

I actually looked it up afterwards. A platypus only mates once per year and then lays two or three eggs. That would explain why gray market platypus eggs cost as much as Hong Kong corneas.
American Alligator Reproduction Details everything you might want to know about alligator egg laying. Alligators of course are farmed already and even taste sort of like chicken. At first it seems promising, with a clutch of 40 odd eggs. But it takes a number of years for a female to reach egg laying age, by which time they will be seven or eight feet or so and ornery. If I read it right, egg laying is only once a year.
However...two paths suggest themselves. One is to gentically engineer faster maturing and faster breeding alligators. I do not see what could possibly go wrong with that.
The other path would be to somehow genetically cross a platypus and a rabbit to create fast breeding egg laying rabbits. For good measure, I suggest they also be made to glow in the dark and be carnivorous. Should be popular around Easter.

We (the hangout crew here on this forum) have arranged a special shipment from "down under" to your bayou for 15 adult animals to be delivered next week. Please start putting up the underwater fencing out back in the bayou this afternoon as when you see that FedEx truck coming down the drive way, that is not your order from Berry's Bullets he will be bringing and I do not think you want 15 little furry animals with duck bills running all over your feet when you try to post on line.
Now be quite and go purchase some duckbill proof fencing and get to work.

Stories about 3-carton purchase limitations in Texas are true, at least at the H-E-B supermarket chain, one of the largest in Texas. Restaurants were coming in and buying all they could get. Local Wal-Mart stores do not yet have purchase limits, but last night, WM's large eggs were priced at $2.86 per carton of 12.

No egg shortage in my area. And the prices have not gone up either.
Thanks for that....now I can't get the bad pictures out of my head. If you ever do that though, be careful if you happen to drop the hot bacon!
The cost of eggs went up about 50 cents per dozen over the normal non-sale price of $2.99 in the Big Y (Western Mass supermarket chain) with a sign about an egg shortage. As I was trying to pick up a box a couple of people (men) stood around seemingly trying to figure out what was going on.

I only egg shop in the winter so haven't noticed prices here. But I did go out and sweet talk my laying hens and give them a big pan of goat milk, which they love. Keep laying ladies, store bought eggs are just wrong.

None needed, some of it was satire.

Article in the SA paper this morning indicated Whataburger was resuming its 11 PM to 11 AM breakfast service schedule. But they will serve breakfasts containing eggs only from 5 AM to 10 AM. So not much of a change.
