But the tallies are a drop in the bucket compared with the nearly 8 billion eggs produced in the U.S. in January alone, down 4% from a year ago, according to the USDA.

I'm couldn't quite picture 8B eggs per month but ...
US has 340M people. So 8B / 340M = 24 eggs per person, per month. 24 eggs covers normal groceries, restaurant meals, other food products etc.
Wife and I wouldn't mind having some hens in our fenced in backyard. HOA won't allow it. Rooting for Trump to declare a national emergency and allow anyone to have (temporarily) chickens on their property.
