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.

        Good job on answering a plain question like an asshole, give yourself a pat on the back for a well done job.

        I just asked why he is giving what he calls refuse, when most people with chickens gives them corn, grain mix and mealworms.
