Summary

Egg prices in the U.S. have reached a record high of $4.95 per dozen amid a severe bird flu outbreak that has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying chickens.

The shortage is compounded by rising feed, fuel, and labor costs, as well as increased demand and stricter cage-free regulations in several states.

Consumers face empty shelves, surcharges, and limited availability, with some areas pricing cartons at $10 or more.

Prices are expected to continue rising, especially with Easter demand.

      They just got the one hole for everything so the eggs coming out of their ass is as accurate as saying they kinda pee them out.

        Yeah I don’t think the joke would be improved by having Mitchell’s character be accurate about the chickens anatomy. In fact, I think it might ruin it a bit if he wasn’t as excitedly silly and incredulous.

        But yes I take your point about what terms we use to refer to cloakas.
