I agree. I don't understand how a 10% drop in # of laying hens results in a 3x (at least locally) increase in price over less than a year. That's not inflation, that's (probably) collusion or at least worth a looky loo by FTC or whoever takes care of that stuff.

It’s odd. I could argue it’s to keep eggs in stock, considering what happened with cream cheese and bsby formula recently. Small drop in supply, media scarcity coverage, many people buy 5x their normal and suddenly the prophecy has self-fulfilled. But, who knows.

The eggs I buy haven’t really changed in price but I already pay 5-6$ a dozen
