Eggs may not be the first thing you think of when planning your Thanksgiving meal, but an egg shortage could effect all those sweet treats that are baked for desert.
Another round of bird flu is being blamed for causing such an an egg shortage at grocery stores across The US. Howver Gary Huddleston with the Texas Retailers Association says luckily Texas didn't get hit by this latest round of illness and has recovered from the outtbreak this spring. He adds that Texas retailers are not reporting an egg shortage and other than normal fluxuations due to higher demand, we shouldn't see any major egg price increases this season.
Many of the shortages being reported are in states like California which have more restrictions on how farmers can raise chickens that Texas does not.
