Egg prices have risen steadily over the past two years. A spike in avian flu and the approaching holiday season are combining to make the problem worse.

Calm down. People act like they’re unaffordable. Gas prices are lower than 2021. trump is gonna take credit for this of which he doesn’t deserve. His administration caused the inflation we are experiencing.
Best to keep yard hens, this means u always have cheap eggs, good fertiliser for the garden, and you reduce your carbon footprint while also stop cruelty to hens
Yeah best to keep them separated from wild birds during migration or if the flu is in the area. But mostly the flu is more
Harmful to commercial hens due to their compact living conditions which leads to easy transmission
51% of the country voted down sane, stable government because they thought an insane, mendacious, and disputatious government would give them cheaper eggs. So...this seems awkward.
But But But
The Biden administration caused high egg prices
We know because trump said so..
trump was lying?
Really?
So...Maybe Latino's don't eat cats and dawgs ?
And China doesn't pay the tariffs ?
Kroger stores admitted they artificially and on purpose inflated the price of milk and eggs, why is nothing being done about this? This is pure greed this is not inflation. Do your homework CNN go after the real culprit which is corporate America. Stop stoking fear and go after the real story.
In the United States. It has been in the news since it started happening 2 years ago. It’s also referenced in the article you’re commenting on, but I’ll post other articles here 😊
I read CDC reports. Not FB, or New York Post. Some farms culled their chickens because one chicken tested positive. Read an actual accurate reports of what’s happened at our farms in our country. These chickens didn’t all test positive but had to be culled. CDC is working on vaccine for Avian flu.
What’s the matter with you people? You normalize a fascist criminal traitor but you yammer on relentlessly about the price of eggs. No sane person gives a good goddamn about the price of eggs. It is not newsworthy.
I'm a receiver at a Grocery store in Kansas. Currently we're selling a dozen eggs, store brand, for $4+. Larger size eggs, Extra Large and Jumbo, are over $6
Everyone focuses on the price of stuff going up, blames it on the current administration, then votes in a criminal idiot like that is going to change anything for them.
Your employer has not raised your WAGES. That is the problem. 🙄
Cal-Maine Foods largest egg producer in the US
575% increase in operating income for fiscal year 2023 compared to 2022:
In \quarter ending February 25, 23, Cal-Maine's profits increased 718% to $323.2 million.
revenue doubled to $997.5 million in same quarter.
@cnn.com but I thought it was Biden's fault? Not like you did anything to provide facts on this. You let them get away with blaming Biden. Good job. Pat yourselves on the back
Don’t worry, as long as it is in Trump’ s hands, Maga will be very never mind the egg price, they can pay so many over priced made in China’s Trump garbages
I guess if you're a trump voter, this is really bad news will make you go apoplectic and potentially force you to get another gun. If you're everyone else. Yeah okay deal with it
Misogyny, normalization of rape and sex with minors, open expressions of hatred towards people based on their ethnicity are also the rise.
So it balances really nicely with the price of eggs.
Hopefully this means fewer products will have eggs in them. There are lots of plant based alternatives. I don’t want eggs in my food. Egg farming is cruel to animals and bad for the environment. People need to wean themselves off eggs.
I buy Eggland’s Best for $3.29/dozen. $0.28 per egg. 2 eggs and toast for breakfast costs less than $1.00, it’s terrible said the people who willingly pay $8 for a cup of fancy coffee.
The prices are outrageous!!! I remember before Covid a dozen eggs were 99 cents. Now they are almost $4. So what after the Covid avian flu took off? Or is it price gouging mixed in there?
Dems should actually rejoice and hope citizens feel max pain for their political choice.. they need to hit rock bottom under Trump.. country over party is an oxymoron..
I hate to tell you this - however, since covid began prices for food has gone up all over the world. The greed of companies is the one and only reason why prices have gone up.
100 million chickens and turkeys have been culled in the U.S. since avian flu was first detected here in Feb. 2022. It has been a major driver of egg prices for two years, but sure, decide to blame it now. You’re terrible.

Isn’t going to wave a magic wand to prevent this? It was never about egg prices.

The constrained the energy production with their regulatory and permitting executive orders.
They enabled massive unvetted illegal immigration that hurts so many regular ppl

I never thought that would happen with CNN. So Sad.

But you will have to drive to the farm, feed the hens and collect your own eggs
Migrants work on farms and drive trucks..
And with 20 million less farm workers and truck drivers...
trump spews garbage
And MAGA swallow it hook,line and sinker
I doubt even trump could change the minds of MAGA now....

So it balances really nicely with the price of eggs.

Is there another option in Umurika?
Get your news from a reliable independent source.
You are scumbag betrayers of the American people so your owners can get tax cuts.
Take your 30 pieces of silver and fuck off.
Nobody believes your nonsense.
Only when the cost of raising chickens exceeds the cost of plant based proteins will people switch to the healthier alternative.
