Friday, 14 February, 2025108 words2 minutes
Eggs are getting very expensive in the United States. The price of eggs has gone up a lot. Now, a dozen eggs cost about $5 in many cities. This is the highest price ever.
The main reason for the high prices is a sickness in chickens called bird flu. When chickens get sick, farmers have to get rid of them. This means fewer chickens to lay eggs. Also, it costs more to feed chickens and take care of them now.
People are finding it hard to buy eggs. Some stores don't have enough eggs. Some places are asking people to buy only a few eggs at a time.
