This is the real reason why eggs are more expensive than ever

People love eggs. They are a must of the grocery store. But in the first months of 2025, the average price of eggs in the United States reached $ 6 per dozen, double what they cost at the same time last year. The main reason for the increase is the spread of avian flu, which led to a murder of around 170 million birds in the United States. Fewer chickens mean fewer eggs on the market, which increases prices. And now there is a new fear: for the first time, the bird flu has been found in cows.
