How many eggs are produced each month?
SoCalGal gave a very good in depth answer to the layers vs boilers question. In April 2024, 8.93 million chicken eggs were produced. If 20 million layers are culled, that is a significant impact on supply. Think of everything that uses eggs. Us at home, restaurants, bakers, factories producing bread, pancakes and waffles. ice cream, and on an on. We use a lot of eggs in the U.S. every day. I went to Wolfy's in Leesburg and they are charging a .50 cent surcharge per egg. So is Dennys and Waffle House.
