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.
What a weak president. Being thrwarted by someone not in power.
Reminds me a lot of Snowball’s ghost in Animal Farm, always coming around at night to sabotage things conveniently out of sight from any witnesses. This was all Snowball’s doing, dontchaknow!
