There are several reasons why eggs are so expensive. According to an article on USA Today, the reasons include:
1. An increase in holiday demand.
2. Higher production costs for farmers.
3. An outbreak of bird flu, a highly contagious virus that can be fatal to poultry such as chickens and turkeys.
Another article on Sentient Media also mentions that the current high price tag of a dozen eggs in grocery stores is due to three main factors:
1. Chickens being killed by the millions to curb the spread of disease.
2. Farmers struggling with inflation.
3. Egg manufacturers keeping prices high.
