The real reason why eggs cost more this Easter

The real reason why eggs cost more this Easter

The real Easter hunt this year might be for affordable eggs.

Inflation and the avian bird flu have combined to triple egg prices in April 2022.

Farmers are killing millions of hens affected by the flu while inflation hit a 40-year high in March 2022.

Right now, the wholesale price of eggs is at least three times as much as last year.

A dozen white, large Midwest shell eggs now cost over $3 since March 31 in the US.

H5N1 bird flu viruses have been detected in commercial and backyard poultry across 24 states.

The sharp rise in inflation is credited to the spike in gasoline and grocery prices due to the Russia-Ukraine war.

Eggs are important to Christians for Easter and Jews for the Passover this weekend.
