A glut of eggs scramble the market
A few years back consumers demanding better treatment for the hens were blamed on high eggs prices. Now are they to blame for a glut of eggs across the US?
The top US egg producer Cal-Maine Eggs is being weighed down by a 30% decline in prices this quarter.

Prices are well below a three year average this fall as your omelette will be a bargain this holiday even if you have to pay more to get to grandma’s house.You may get those next dozen eggs for a dollar at your local supermarket.
Large buyers of eggs like McDonald’s and WalMart, Cal-Maine’s largest customers, are demanding cage-free eggs by 2025.
