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.
Different coloured eggs are different prices in the US?
Yeah. Generally, brown is more expensive than white, organic is more expensive than non-organic, free-range is more expensive than caged etc. The current situation has rendered everything fucking expensive, though.
