I live in CA and saw a massive jump in prices when the state ordered chickens to be euthanized due to bird flu. It was also the first time I saw grocery store shelves completely empty of eggs for days at a time.

Prices for organic eggs have somewhat returned to pre-bird flu levels but the regular sales and discounts have stopped. Non-organic eggs are still significantly higher.

Sounds like a combo of ABF and this...

"Trader Joe's is transitioning to carry only cage-free eggs by 2025."

I was more reacting to the "first time" anecdotal evidence.

Same in SouthCal. Employees said to come in the morning. An hour after opening they still had lots. Although there is a 2 cartons per household limit.

I'm in South Florida.

There are 3 Whole Foods within a 15 minute drive of me, 4 Publix, 2 TJ's, a Sprouts, and 2 Costco locations in that same range as well.

Nowhere have I seen eggs.

Not sure what time you go to TJ's. In SoCal, I go nearly daily, a benefit of living 50ft from the store, and while stock is currently low, I have only seen it empty once. Again, it could be that when I go at lunchtime, they have the daily delivery available, but by the evening it is gone. Their prices for regular eggs remain <$4/dozen.
