Wouldn't we see an increase (equal or more) in chicken meat prices as well? If the info is correct...
2020-2023 chicken meat is ~22% higher: https://www.in2013dollars.com/Chicken/price-inflation/2020-t...
2020-2023 eggs are ~91% higher: https://www.in2013dollars.com/Eggs/price-inflation/2020-to-2...
Focusing on meat vs egg chickens is beside the point. Cal-Maine’s profit has skyrocketed, even as prices on other things have come back down, so clearly they’re not merely passing their expenses on to the consumer. Read the link at top.
The egg price spiked almost a year ago because we've been dealing with H5N1 since over a year ago and it has only gotten worse since.

It's literally their mission to make this claim.
