The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the lifestyle of almost everyone in the U.S. to this date, and the preparation and continued response by citizens all across the country involves buying plenty of supplies. One Connecticut mother is trying to do her best to make sure her family can be as self-sufficient as possible if things spiral downward. Laurin Mooney, from Pomfret, CT, is preparing for a possible blow to supply chains and supermarkets everywhere following the pandemic. She has purchased plenty of seeds and plans to grow her own vegetables in the garden for at least the rest of this summer. She also made the decision to buy chicks, and raise them in her bathtub, a somewhat unusual choice but it has turned out to be the right one. For the past week and a half, no nearby supermarket has had eggs in their stock. When first buying these chickens, a lot of people asked “Why?” to Laurin, what was the point? “Now I get to tell them a great big, “I told you so.”” Said Laurin. She hopes that this pandemic does not get to the point where she has to be reliant on what she has at home. “We could do it, but it wouldn’t be very fun, hopefully, the supply chains and economy can hold up under this stress.” Her precognition worked well with the egg issue, and even now with the chickens! Every nearby farm or farmer’s co-op said that they have no remaining chicks left to purchase, apparently Laurin was the first in a wave of new chicken owners all over the state
