The average person doesn't have room for a sufficient sized chicken coop. The average person doesn't have the wherewithal to get eggs to market. The average person can't efficiently produce eggs in any sort of quantity to satisfy market demand. The average person hasn't invested in quality control nor in packaging. Simply put, the average person can't do much to take advantage of any short-term pricing issues. In the long term this will settle, so any short-term investments that the average person will make will not be recooped (see what I did there).
