Shoppers are beginning to look outside the grocery store for their eggs as many stores are unable to keep them in stock. DanielleKNews reports.

People are turning to urban farmers, or people living in urban or suburban areas that use their yards as farmland.

"They're munching on some cracked corn, we have a little bit of sunflower seed kernels in there, also peanuts, and just other little nuts and things like that," Burse said. Over the last year, Burse has brought in some repeat customers through word-of-mouth and selling eggs through online posts. She is hoping to expand her flock with new hens, but has found that's also a challenge as more people are trying to solve the egg shortage in their own backyard too.
