Poultry Black Market Threatens Nationwide Shortage
A nationwide poultry black market risks an egg shortage and damaged flocks. The House investigating committee found many areas where more than half the poultry reaches market above legal prices, with fly by night dealers buying hens and roosters. Farmers sell now for higher returns, reducing future egg production and delaying layer replacement. Consumers also buy directly from producers, while some dealers rent ranches to secure poultry in California. Poultrymen cite red meat shortages, high consumer spending power, and price controls as causes.
