Bird Flu in U.S. Is Creating Egg Shortages and Driving Up Prices Avian influenza has led to a shortage of eggs and wholesale prices that are through the roof. Consumers can expect to feel the pain for a while.

Price of eggs has shot up again.

The bovine H5N1 outbreak, already badly handled, is ongoing too.

And with health agencies muzzled, we are down to fingers crossed.
