rising costs<\/strong> that farmers have faced<\/a> within the last year, egg prices have had to increase as a result. Experts argue that bird flu isn\u2019t even the biggest factor for these higher egg prices. When you account for rising fuel and feed prices, you realize that they play a larger role in egg prices than some bird flu. In some states, from Colorado to New York, egg shelves are empty. A bagel store owner in New York said that he used to pay $70 to $80 for 30 dozen eggs. He now has to pay $150 to $160 for the same 30 dozen, so breakfast items may increase in addition to grocery store egg prices. According to local media in Arizona and Massachusetts, people started buying their own chickens!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nSome Relief Soon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The pain of paying higher prices for eggs may end soon enough. During the holidays, people typically purchase more eggs to make holiday-specific foods and beverages. Since holiday egg consumption is down, more stock of eggs will be available soon. Economists observed that the price pressures of eggs seem to be easing, and that the U.S. will likely see relief in the coming months. Egg farmers have steadily replaced their flocks that they lost to the bird flu last year. As the spot prices fall, the market will follow and you\u2019ll probably see a 25-30% decrease in egg prices. However, additional bird flu outbreaks could disrupt this trend.<\/p>\n
