New London, New Hampshire-
The next time you go to a restaurant, you may have a hard time finding an egg.
Since 2022, the United States has been experiencing continuous occurrence of bird flu, which is generally known as bird flu.
According to USDA’s latest data, the number of birds affected by cases has risen sharply in the last three months. The change creates a shortage of chicken and its deficiency of eggs.
Based on Pete and Gerry Monroe, more than 200 farms focus on the management of their families are applied to eggs. Most of their products come from the main and the middle west, along with regional chains such as Walmart and Whole Foods in cooperation with some of the largest food retailers in the region, including Hanna Ford and shows. I’m worried about what this means for customers.
“There is no enough chicken to lay eggs to catch up with demand,” said Cameron Whitehead, the company’s highest executive officer. Now right now. “”

USDA is said to have been affected by more than 13,000,000 birds by influenza in all 50 states in the past 30 days. Whitehead states that this is not the remaining indicator of the year.
“Even if most of the experts in the industry, including me, probably don’t look at the bird flu in the coming months, probably continue to see” this effect in the rest of the 25 years. ” “Shoh” said Whitehead.
In September 2023, the US Labor Statistics Bureau stated that the average price of one -dozen Grade A eggs was slightly more than $ 2. More than a year later, the data indicated that the price was $ 4.16 or more in December 2024.
Unlike many large competitors, Kearsarge Co-OP Grocery in New London has almost avoided low-stock issues. In addition to the parent company that is useful for distribution, the store focuses on local and organic products that use natural production methods. Most of the inventory depends on small suppliers instead of major labels.
New Hampshire has avoided many recorded bird flu, and has proved that relying on local farmers is a safe bet.
“If you set up eggs with people who can sell eggs in quantities in the local area, you will be able to overturn the shortage,” said the store manager Patrick Gale.
Gale says he sees the price rising at a larger competitors. The trend has revealed his attention, but brought his business to the inflow of customers.
“I think it’s a kind of concern when the” birds “are turning,” he said. “I hope it doesn’t affect us much.”
The effect has been taken over by consumer plates. The red arrow diner breaks up to 30,000 eggs a week across the four new Humpshaires. Those supply come from two different vendors with large local bases and scale.
Despite the shortage, AMANDA WIHBY, a co -owner, has previously experienced the decline and flow of bird flu throughout the industry. That confidence is to move them forward to survive this specific storm.
“I want this to be Tippiti Top,” said Weave. “It starts to get off, and we try to keep it as stable as possible.”
Other local restaurants share the fact that they also feel the stabs of eggs. However, WiHBY added that the menu price would not change despite the change in supply, and added that the cost of the menu would not increase.
“We are really looking for them because we know that customers are experiencing inflation like us,” said Wihby.
