Eggstinct?

'Free range' eggs will not be available in the UK from Monday 21st March (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/18/free-range-eggs-unavailable-britain-avian-flu). 'Free range' eggs will disappear from supermarket shelves because the UK has been experiencing its largest ever outbreak of bird 'flu. Chickens have consequently been confined to quarters since last November. This means that their eggs can no longer carry the (obviously slightly misleading) label from this coming Monday.
