Small business owners across the U.S. are facing significant challenges due to severe egg shortages and rising prices, primarily caused by avian flu leading to the culling of millions of chickens. The price of a dozen Grade A eggs reached $4.95 in January, significantly above previous lows. Business owners are finding it difficult to adapt, with some considering price increases or changes to their menus, while others, like farms, are experiencing increased demand from consumers turning to greenmarkets for their egg needs.
