最近数周，全英国各大超市的消费者一直抱怨鸡蛋短缺，多张反映鸡蛋货架空空如也的照片在网络流传。
英国鸡蛋生产商警告，由于禽流感暴发加剧了生产成本的上升，如果没有政府干预，英国到圣诞节可能面临严重鸡蛋短缺。
British poultry farmers have warned that there could be "no eggs by Christmas" without government intervention as rises in production costs are being exacerbated by a bird flu outbreak.
由于通货膨胀和能源短缺，鸡蛋生产商的成本“大幅增长”，这意味着一些农民被迫停止生产鸡蛋，因为他们“每个鸡蛋都在赔钱”。
Egg producers have seen "huge hikes" in the production caused by inflation and rising energy costs have meant some farmers have been forced to stop making eggs as they are "losing money on every egg laid".
《每日电讯报》10日报道，来自英国剑桥郡的农民查尔斯·米尔斯说鸡蛋生产成本的上升是真正的威胁，“如果政府不介入扶持农民，圣诞节将没有鸡蛋可吃”。
Charles Mears, poultry farmer at Wood Farm in Wareseley, Cambridgeshire, said the rising cost of producing eggs is "a genuine threat" if the government "does not intervene to support farmers, there will be no eggs by Christmas".
位于威尔士的农民约安·汉弗莱斯 (Ioan Humphreys) 说，不仅禽流感引发鸡蛋短缺，超市拒绝向农民支付应得的鸡蛋钱款同样影响供应。
汉弗莱斯在他发布到推特的一则视频中说，超市对消费者上调鸡蛋价格，但没有把多赚的钱分成给农民，“我们生产鸡蛋的成本激增。饲料、电、新购禽类的价格都在上涨……我们根本产不起鸡蛋了”。
英国散养蛋生产者协会 (BFREPA) 近日对三分之一的农场主进行了调查，称他们已经减少了鸡群中的母鸡数量，因为鸡蛋价格上涨意味着他们无力支付成本。与此同时，参与调查的165名农民中有四分之一表示，他们已经暂时或永久停止了生产。
A third of farmers surveyed in recent days by the trade body the British Free Range Egg Producers Association (BFREPA) reported they had reduced the number of hens in their flock because egg prices meant they were unable to cover their costs.
Meanwhile, a quarter of the 165 farmers who responded told the BFREPA they had stopped production either temporarily or permanently.
协会提供的数据显示，一打鸡蛋的价格今年以来上涨大约45便士，但其中只有5至10便士给到农民。
Figures from the BFREPA suggest prices have gone up by 45p for a dozen since March, yet farmers have only been earning an extra 5p to 10p.
协会一名发言人说，母鸡饲养成本同期至少上涨50%，能源、劳动力和包装成本都有所上涨。他还说：“我们一些会员每生产一枚鸡蛋都会亏钱。我们的数据显示，即使那些略有盈利的人也不看好长期前景。”
The British Free Range Egg Producers Association added: "Many of our members are losing money on every egg laid, and our data shows that even those who are making a small profit do not see a long-term future."
该协会代表了约550家鸡蛋企业，占英国放养和有机鸡蛋产量的70%，为英国最大的零售商提供产品。
