Egg prices drop as demand 'sharply' falls among inflation-weary customers unwilling to shell out

38. I'm not sure "price gouging" is he right term

Yes, they are charging what they can get away with, but many of them had to destroy their flocks, so their costs are higher. But I guess the problem with that argument is that the people charging the high prices are, by definition, the ones who did NOT have to destroy their flocks. So never mind.

In my area, the shelves are still 90% empty with the only eggs available being $8/dz. Personally, I use packaged egg whites rather than shell eggs. I haven't been able to buy that for 3 months.
