Yup, bird flu moment. I'm very glad my family put up a chicken coop in our backyard years ago; we get a ~carton a day, and they last forever even outside the fridge due to the natural "sealant" still being intact.

Hopefully store prices will come down as the year goes on and flocks bounce back.

The commercial eggs also last forever outside the fridge. That thing about the natural sealant is a widely believed myth.

Source: I leave my commercial eggs outside the fridge, and they last with zero problems.

As I understand it this can be safe or not-so-safe depending on where you live. If you're in the US you're likely buying sanitized eggs, whereas that's not standard practice in most other countries.
