Thanks to a massive bird flu outbreak in the U.S., which began in 2022, and has affected more than 135 MILLION birds, farmers don't have enough eggs to meet demand. So, we're going to have to pay more if we want them.

Waffle House has implemented a temporary $0.50 surcharge for every egg ordered amid supply issues caused by the current bird flu outbreak.

The ongoing outbreaks resulted in the "depopulation" of 13.2 million birds in December, according to federal data.
