If the last three years have taught me anything, it's to never write something off without careful examination.
According to a rash of posts making the rounds on social media, something more sinister might be to blame for the lack of supply. Last week, a young man, possibly a farmer, claimed in a Facebook post: “Ok so something really weird is going on, I have called multiple farms that sell chickens and they are all telling me that their chickens have stopped laying eggs and therefore they do not have any for sale. I looked into it a little further and apparently they are putting something in the feed to stop them from being able to lay eggs! If you have chickens and are having the same thing happen try to start feeding them a rice and pinto bean mix because it seems anything made as feed is being tainted with something that is causing this!”
In the Twitter post below, a woman who has raised chickens for over 30 years said she has never gone without eggs. But from Halloween until a week ago, her chickens produced just a single egg. After switching from chicken feed to goat feed, they began to lay eggs again.
Another Twitter user said her chickens stopped laying eggs between last summer and last fall. She purchased higher quality feed from a local supplier and they began producing eggs again.
In a TikTok video, a young woman said her hens had stopped laying eggs. One day, because they had a lot of leftovers, they served their chickens table scraps. The next day, they began laying eggs. She blamed it on the commercial feed.

The sudden immolation of grain silos and factory farms, the push for us to eat bugs, the climate crusaders quest to rid us of carbon footprints - and now this.
Whether it's true or not, at the very least, it's a genuine cause for concern.
