British supermarkets have seen a sharp increase in demand for laying hens in the wake of a severe egg shortage following the outbreak of the Corona virus.

Suzy Baldwin of Holly Water Heins, a poultry company in the Hampshire area of ​​the UK, said the demand for chickens this month has risen to 'insanity'.

He said he had to limit three chickens per customer so that everyone could meet their demand. Some people were demanding 20 chickens, he said.

Suzie Baldwin said she checks before selling the chicken to see if the buyer has a place for the poultry. He also expressed concern that when the conditions were good and everyone would go back to work, who would take care of these chickens? Another poultry firm owner said they have all the birds sold but the phone is ringing constantly.
