Eggs are more than double in price and quantities are limited. Millions of chickens are being destroyed all over the Midwest due to outbreaks of bird flu. All of the farm flocks within a six-mile radius of any observed outbreak. But the virus still spreads via wild birds that flock all over. Ya'all ...
