Summary
Egg prices in the U.S. have reached a record high of $4.95 per dozen amid a severe bird flu outbreak that has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying chickens.
The shortage is compounded by rising feed, fuel, and labor costs, as well as increased demand and stricter cage-free regulations in several states.
Consumers face empty shelves, surcharges, and limited availability, with some areas pricing cartons at $10 or more.
Prices are expected to continue rising, especially with Easter demand.
$8 here in the supermarket, but 2 dozen for $5 at the farm across the street from my SO’s parents
$10 for a dozen here. But still $7.69 for two dozen at Costco if you can get to them before they sell out.
$8.49 for two dozen brown eggs at Costco in Colorado (Denver Metro)
No Costco anywhere near me ☹️
