Egg Prices and what’s the scoop?

Baltimore City-Our cartons of eggs have residents scrambling for answers. What’s really behind these unusual prices at our local supermarkets? BBS has the scoop in and around town. Many neighbors have being following the internet pretty closely, lately. It’s the Easter holiday and they want their eggs. Our children are looking forward to dying their eggs in brilliant, vivid colors. Many neighbors need them to make cute, festive Easter baskets. Why do you have to pay more for eggs this holiday? The nation is experiencing a bird flu among flocks around the world including our town. Many affected flocks had to be destroyed to prevent this disease from escalating. What is bird flu and how is it transmitted? The trending bird flu is an airborne respiratory virus. Our community still needs to know exactly who’s at risk? Sadly, this virus spreads quickly among birds. Caretakers are also at risk through contact with infected birds. How does it affect our local grocers and community? So, it is mainly due to the short supply of eggs being produced and the large demands for them. The picture is becoming clearer for many local residents now. It makes sense why our prices are higher now. The good news is that our eggs in the store are safe for your loved ones to enjoy. You can still dye your eggs and have a Easter egg for the little ones, too! The safety and health of our community outweighs the rising cost for many local shoppers. Do you know of a local store where their eggs are a little less pricey? Please pass that information on to a local neighbor in need! BBS wants to know your take on eggs this Easter holiday. Will you be purchasing a carton this year or will you pass?
