In the year through November, not adjusted for seasonal swings, egg prices jumped 49%, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Since early this year, a deadly avian flu has been reducing poultry flocks — specifically turkeys and egg-laying hens. That’s one reason for the unrelenting increase in prices. But the situation has been exacerbated by elevated feed and energy costs for producers, in addition to high demand in the supermarket.
Of those, about 43 million are egg-laying hens, according to USDA data provided by the American Egg Board, a farmer-funded group which markets eggs. Still, farmers have been able to moderate the losses. “Our producers learned a lot of hard lessons from 2015,” said Emily Metz, CEO of the American Egg Board. Some farmers have been able to repopulate their flocks, decreasing the net impact on flock sizes and egg supplies.
because the chikens all passed from Covid? Loed, who kknows, just dont eat eggs and problem solved
Thanks Joe Biden for focusing on nothing, literally! This is All his doing to eliminate farmers and ranchers.
Thank Goodness for the 'Best economy in decades'....
Since liberals demand chickens earn $50/hour, get breaks every 30 minutes and receive free health coverage, of course eggs are going to get pricey. Only wealthy, Hollywood democrat types can afford them.
Complain to your President who is vaccinating in St Croix. 🤔
The government is investing high on Ukraine war instead of Agriculture
Eggs are what I’ve been using to gauge inflation
The fake media brainwashed the masses to vote for democrats who created this mess. And they started a war with Russia by trying to expand NATO yet again
Thanks a lot Joe!
Your math sucks… way more than 49%
Thank Joe we did it.
Everything is more expensive? CNN just realized this? Fox told that story 1 year ago! CNN never seems to get the story on time or correct!
Several try all of them
This is grade A, all American BS.
Buy local, as at a local farm or farmers market … or better yet throw some chickens in your backyard
Let’s Go Brandon
Chickens demanding pay raises.... Chicken protest... Low sperm counts among males... Reduced chicken Libido in female chickens...? My buddy Foghorn Leghorn confirmed this today?
Milk is also puss and blood. Enjoy!!!
Just know that when you eat eggs you are eating dead baby birds. Go ahead and enjoy. Egg prices just came down.
“Several” lol. Too funny…
Avian flu
From 1.29 a dozen to 4.49 a dozen is only 49%. Yep sounds about right for the inflation math going on today.
I haven't read it, but I bet it's because of Trump or because people didn't get vaccinated.
“Several grocery items have gotten more expensive”. Can you list the ones that haven’t?
.89 cents to $3.61 …
With Brandon you ain't seen nothin' yet.
On the bright side people throwing eggs at cars and houses have gone down 49%.
Eggs over 100% increase as per my visit to the grocery store today!!!
49%? You're joking, right? Try 300%-400%. $1.12 a year ago for a dozen large eggs, $$5-$6 now. Math better!
Well, if it’s on CNN, it must be Trump’s fault !
Common core math.. eggs only 49 percent.. total Inflation at 7 percent.. can we say BULLSHIT
I just paid $8.59 for 18 eggs. This is my local store last week.
49% is a lot, but not really that much more money. Meat has been the real killer.
bidenflation
Quick... Bring in brikeilarcnn to do an expose on a family who buys 12 dozen eggs every week.
Do a news artical on EpsteinIsland you are a joke of a news platform and so is anyone who doesn’t report on this.
Why? JOE BIDEN AND EVERYONE THAT GOT THAT FRAUD ELECTED PRESIDENT!!!
Because liberals are in charge
It's insane how eggspensive they've gotten!
Give your tithe of food to the hungry Jesus, of clothing to Jesus in the cold, of medicine to the sick Jesus of Deut 26:12, and receive health and wealth and save your soul from the hell of Mt 25:41,42 at the final judgment, amen
votebergen we need the ordinances lifted for backyard chickens.
Large fries at Mickey Ds $4.00
Y’all watch out for them eggs
Maybe we need to print even more money…
poor ppl ,they don't have schemes like 1000 caged layer farm ,kuchh seekho Odisha govt se 😂
All Bidens fault..... No one else.
Food groups that aren’t industrial sludge generally get more expensive during record inflation.
Build back better
It’s funny that when MSM talks about inflation they will literally find any excuse other then the trillions and trillions printed by the Fed.
You’re not going to tell us how that’s a good thing?
Easy. Chickens unionized
It’s those greedy chickens.
Bidenflation
Thanks Biden!
Local farm I can walk to has them for $3 a dozen. They are small but yummy.
soon to be renamed the bureau of lying statistics. eggs have doubled to tripled.
Fuck eggs.
49%? Naw.... 2 years ago, I could get 5 dozen for $5-$7 from Walmart. Now they're $20 at Walmart.
Theyre the onlybprotein working people can afford now. Make that could afford.
Maybe they paying the chicken 🐔
Who owns most of the grocery chains? Think about that question very deeply before you answer probably the same people that run the financial institutions in America who deny you loans, the same people who run the medical profession who deny us painkillers, just think about it
Biden’s America. Way to go democrats. Mission accomplished.
They cost 33¢ an egg here. I can have scrambled eggs for 66¢. Still a bargain in my estimation.
Eggs are still cheap for what you get
Damn Trump 🤷♂️
What could have possibly caused this historic rise in prices?
All this and ppl voted for more of the same...
Energy prices... know what'll help! Swapping to solar and wind a magnitude higher cost option...while eliminating fossil fuel and nuclear energy which are both much cheaper... great plan...
Many people can no longer afford meat. Eggs are a cheaper and better option for protein. Hence the surge.
'Several grocery items'. You are literally incapable of not gaslighting. Nearly every grocery item is more expensive.
COFFEE HAS DOUBLED IN OHIO
Eggspensive!!!
If eggs are so expensive. Stop buying them for a week and see what happens to price
the
havent seen meat prices then have you
how many off you live in multi million $$$ houses
Cheaper to buy the chicken than the eggs for the protein. Lol
The Chickens got a raise !
CNN, you may want to look at the price of butter.
...eggs are more expensive than chicken...ten hot dogs...but only eight hot dog buns...?
A Canadian said the grocery store he had gone to were selling a dozen eggs for over 10.00.
This is disinformation. The Biden administration said we have a strong economy and prices going down.
60 count eggs were 7 bucks now 22. Ya the math is off.
MohammadMoradi, an Iranian patriot living in France, published this video that he would commit suicide in order to attract the West's attention to the Iran's revolution. He fulfilled his promise and sacrificed his life 4 iran's freedom. Share it! MahsaAmini
Biden’s Egg crisis
MohammadMoradi from Iran, committed suicide by drowning himself last night in the Rhone river, France to draw attention of the Western countries to the crimes of IR regime in Iran. A day before, he had recorded this video. MahsaAmini
Good OLD American GREED
The Qur'an told us fourteen hundred years ago how a child is formed, which is being proved true by science today
🥱
Let’s Go Brandon
Only 7% inflation 🤣😂
Avian flu which decimated chickens is largely to blame. Demand supply. Chicken price per pound has also dramatically increased.
Just 'several' they say.
CHICKEN FEED!!!
it ain't Putin
They are introducing these virus' into these populations and purposely sabotaging live stock. They are burning down production plants and doing this entire thing on purpose.
But yet you all approve of money being spent in Ukraine when in reality it could be used to reduce prices here at home ! F Ukraine what about us Americans, these are our tax dollars and should be used on us the American people not some country that doesn't give 2 craps
No chit cnn where you been for the past 2 years going after trump pathetic
How’s your sanctions working because in Russia eggs are around $1.28 😂😂🖕🏻
