Egg Crisis!!

I was really surprised to see this at the grocery store the other day. Apparently there's currently an egg shortage and my local grocery store has limited the number of cartons of eggs. A family can buy to one per family. 

I wasn't sure if it was just a supply line issue or something bigger so I did some searching it and apparently the bird flu has been devastating to the Japanese poultry population since mid January. 

Expect egg prices to rise, more notices like this to exist, and to generally have to find substitutions for eggs in many recipes until the poultry population can recover.
