Chickens got hit with a bird flu during the start of the pandemic, which made egg prices even higher. A big reason for the drop in price was because the farmers were able to stabilize. It’s probably 50/50 between the fowl epidemic and inflation.

Except egg production didn’t drop all that much: statista.com/…/total-egg-production-in-the-us-sin…
It hit one producer and the others decided to jack up their prices as well to take advantage. There’s a reason why they were being investigated.
