Inside the bubble $4 eggs a given. Outside $1.45, for regular eggs, egg land best $2.40. Just have to get out of the price gouging area of TV

When was the last time you bought eggs(non expired) for $1.45? I was in two different states over Christmas, and they were $4 plus.

That is an amazing price. Wholesale price of eggs hit $5.45/dozen last week vs $1.70 a year ago.

I only buy fresh local eggs. Grandma had a chicken farm so I was spoiled at an early age to enjoy only fresh eggs.

I guess it isn't really a tax increase.

I’m thinking about buying a couple of chicks from Rural King if people can have 2 dogs well 2 laying hens would be the same. I’ll call them emotional and support in 12 weeks I figure I’ll be getting 14 eggs weekly.

Just don't leave those small plastic bags along the street.
Oh wait, that's for the dog poop thread....

About same here in UK.
Just paid $4.08 (£3.38) for a dozen extra large free range.
Avian flu still a problem here as well, then add the ever rising cost of feed grain, and you have the perfect storm.

Prices rising is largely a supply and demand issue. Pretty common especially lately. But things usually return close to normal in the long run.
