I heard that the egg prices are out of control due to bird flu and greed. How did this situation impact the chicken meat prices?
It’s hard to google local prices actual people pay in other countries for commodity goods like chicken and bread :/

I’m right here and I can hardly tell. Local store here in the Midwest has fresh chicken breasts for anywhere from $2.49/lb (store brand 5lb package) to $7.49/lb. (Brand name, no hormones or antibiotics, grain fed 1.25lb package)
My husband thought he got a good deal on eggs the other day and excitedly asked, “how much are eggs?” I said, “somewhere between 2 and 10 bucks. White, brown, regular, cage-free, store, or eggland?.” He moped away and never told me how much he paid.
I spent $7/dozen on cage-free, free-range blue eggs a few days ago. They were delicious on my gyudon.
Oh that’s really good for fancy eggs! What are blue eggs?
They’re eggs taht have blue-tinted shells. Really. AFAIK, aside from the color, there’s no real difference between them and brown or white eggs, if the chickens laying the eggs are treated equally. Free range & cage-free eggs, particularly with small flocks that aren’t just eating chicken feed (e.g., they’re also foraging) should have a slightly better nutrition profile. People with more discriminating palates than I have say that the yolks have a more orange color, and a better flavor.
Would you say the price did get spread further out or were they always that far apart?
