Shoppers may see fewer eggs on shelves as three farms at the centre of bird flu outbreaks in Victoria are placed in quarantine.

Egg shortages could be felt over the coming week after three egg farms go into quarantine.Shoppers who cannot find their favourite eggs should shop around at local grocers and butchers, farmers say.

More than 600,000 egg-laying hens at those farms will be culled in an effort to limit the spread of the virus. "There are plenty of eggs in the system, but there won't be as many eggs as before," Ms Parkinson said.While the impact on egg availability is yet to be felt, the industry is concerned about potential wider outbreaks of bird flu.New South Wales and Queensland produce 266 million dozen eggs combined.

"We're anticipating a flow-on impact to egg supplies in the coming week and are working as hard as possible to maintain availability," Ms Cucinotta said.
