The prices are caused by inflation, massive cullings of infected hens with bird flu, and just the area you live in. Where I'm at, eggs are $4.50 USD/dozen at the moment. They've been higher though.
Those eggs specifically look to be "cage-free", which increases their price by a little bit.
Yep I'm near Delaware so we have all the chicken farms at least near us. And our eggs are $4.5 for a dozen.
In Germany, you can't even buy eggs from cage farming anymore.
Upstate NY and a dozen is between 8-9 dollars last I looked.
Where in upstate? They're $4 everywhere Ive seen them.
