[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Avian flu, supply chain issues.

Some of it is localized due to specific regulations as well.  ABC re: California:

“California's cage free laws implemented on Jan. 1, 2022 also contributed to especially high prices in the Golden State.

AB1437 required all eggs sold in the state come from hens living in cage-free barns. This in turn resulted in a smaller pool of sellers CA grocers can purchase eggs from, in turn driving prices up.

"You're buying from a smaller range of options in terms of where you can buy eggs from to be able to meet the regulatory conditions that are required.””[/quote]

MA too. Fewer suppliers because they can only sell cage-free eggs. We pay $5.49/dozen for the house brand at my local Stop and Shop (aka Giant). Organic is at least $8.[/quote] organic doesn’t mean cruelty free fyi. Caged hens can be labeled organic. Do your research into the suppliers the company uses..[/quote]

Honestly? I just want cheaper eggs. It was the state government that decided that cage-free must inherently be better in some way (although as you point out, that’s not necessarily true). [/quote]

The average battery caged laying hen spends her entire life in a space the size of an 8x11 sheet of paper. Her. Entire. Life.

That’s the kind of eggs you want to put in your body? Do you not think that there is a connection between the stress endured by an animal and the quality of its bodily processes? If you were caged in a way that you couldn’t move your body or exercise or get good sleep and fresh air, how healthy do you think your baby would be?

People should pay a few bucks more and buy eggs from hens that scratched the ground outside. [/quote]

Sure, we should always take the hit while the corporations get rich that's the american way. I'm feeding two on a $70/week grocery budget so prices actually matter to me.[/quote]
