Moscogiuri sells eggs to retail stores, and he said a scarcity mindset among some shoppers can make matters worse. “I’m a consumer myself, right? And if I go to the store and I see large dozens of $2.99, limit two, I’m probably going to grab two dozen as opposed to one dozen,” he said. “And I think, you know, in some cases, that creates more demand at some of these chains.”

The bird flu is ravaging the nation’s egg-laying flock in yet another seasonal upswing for the disease, says Brian Moscogiuri, an analyst who tracks the industry for Irvine-based distributor Eggs Unlimited. Destroying infected birds is slashing the nation’s ability to keep up with demand. It’s a shortfall that will take months to repair. As a result, the average price of a dozen eggs in California on Tuesday, Jan. 7, was $8.97, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That’s more than double the $4.06 price at last year’s start. In 2023, amid another bird flu outbreak, the price of eggs began the year at $7.37, compared with $2.35 at the beginning of 2022 or $1.34 in 2021.
