The egg price is due to the H5N1 epidemics, which also means that this is the least indicated time to get a backyard chicken. The US should have dropped battery caging, like the rest of the world did 15 years ago.

Same epidemic in Japan, egg shortages have been. A thing but the prices have hardly changed ?
