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.
The eggs we eat are unfertilized. How is that murder?
The problem is the hens being shoved into dirty dark cages with no space to move and the male chicks are thrown into shredders.
The hens that are killed need to be replaced. So when they hatch as males, they’re killed at less than an hour old
