minus-squareSupraMario@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·14 days agoNope, we just have an abundance of eggs. Plus the fed buys a large amount for vaccines(now that trumps in power. I doubt that’s still happening)

minus-squarethen_three_more@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·14 days agoAhhh that explains it. The vast majority of eggs in the UK are free range, where hens have to have access to outside space. I think you can get caged eggs still, so they’d be much cheaper.
