Sue, what I read and hear about is the avian flu is rampant in a lot of areas, chickens and housing have to be destroyed. It takes 5 months for a chick to lay the first egg.On another ng, I read a poster was paying $ 13.99 for 18 large eggs. This was Los Angeles area.

we eat breakfast out more than at home.I have been in cafes in the last few weeks that have signs posted that prices have increased due to egg prices. We really haven't noticed it that much as our two primary places offer a great special that with coffee is under $ 5.00 .
