I’m sorry. This is incorrect. I was told that egg prices are down. Gas is cheap and there is no inflation. /s

I’d just buy a pet chicken at that point.

You should use percentage difference compared to the previous interval. This chart is visually misleading. Even though the price is nominally at its highest now, the sudden increase in price itself is nothing that hasn’t happened before.

Ever since March they’ve been down though so not really good data or anything

Fake news. I don’t usually check the egg prices in detail but I know for a fact that our dropped 92%. I’m very sure about my source. It’s definitely correct. What do you say? I should check the egg prices myself next time I’m in the store? No, I don’t have time for that. Checking egg prices is woke communism. Anyway, things are going pretty well for everybody right now. We’re finally taking America back. Also, after Ukraine attacked Russia, Russia should simply annex Ukraine. And look what a great deal we struck with China on tariffs. Biden left is with a disastrous plan. If Biden’s 145% in tariffs plan had gone through, he and Obama would have been responsible for America’s downfall. But we saved America because of our mastermind negotiator.

At this rate, eggs might start coming with a side of stock options.
$4/dozen is still a good value for what you’re getting. That’s $.33 per egg! Eggs are great.

Until we 100% address H5N1 and pour massive resources into the pandemic threat it is we are going to be on this roller coaster cycle with egg prices. Layers can be hatched and after a few months prices can somewhat recover but the cycle of massive infection killing flocks is just going to repeat over and over as we allow unchecked spread in cattle and poultry.
I’m much more worried about the pandemic risk of H5N1 than its impact on egg prices.

Data From [https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000708111](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000708111) this is Aprils data so it will be a bit out of date from a price you saw recently. And different locations have different prices this is an average one.

Posted previously but a number of people said I was a communist if I did not post it again when this months data came out

Why use such outdated data? This came out last week and shows pricing down substantially since the peak.
