HPAI LOSSES PASS 38 MILLION BIRDS https://www.agriculture.com/livestock/poultry/avian-influenz...

Signs of avian influenza include: birds dying without clinical signs; lack of energy; decreased egg production; soft-shelled or misshapen eggs; swelling or purple discoloration of the head, eyelids, comb, and hocks; nasal discharge; coughing; sneezing; incoordination; and diarrhea. The USDA has a resource with images to help identify discoloration and other clinical signs.

Large vs. Medium eggs - also a chance for a shrinkflation serving without removing 50% of the serving.

How are they that much? I pay $1.49 for 18 eggs at Kroger

Those must be really low quality eggs? The Costco ones are not quite the bottom tier.

Eggs can be hyperlocal - we were as low as $.25 a dozen just a few years ago, now we hit about $2 a dozen. The eggs from further away are more - the latest price increases have made the "grown local by cage free hens" eggs competitive again.

Eggs at my Costco were $8-9 for 60 large a couple weeks ago.
