Ah, but each ostrich egg is equivalent to 25 hen eggs so you get two dozen eggs for the price of one egg.

Ostrich eggs vary from about 2 kilos (4½ lbs) to 3.5 kilos (7¾ lbs) in weight and are priced here between the equivalent of $9 to $19 USD each.

 

Here is one beside a standard sized chicken egg for scale. The ostrich egg was around 5 lbs.

Back to somewhat normal this morning.

 

Today - $1.49 for large whites, and $1.79 for large browns.

Last I bought, last week, were $3.00 dozen, large white.      Good tasting, but nothing spectacular.

The last post in this thread was two years ago. Clearly there's an Avian Flu cycle. 

The last two years or so inflation raised the price of our usual free range organic eggs above $8. Yesterday my husband paid $12 for the same dozen eggs. He said the egg shelves were pretty bare. 

 

This is the first ever that I remember looking at cake recipes that use four eggs or more and thinking, deal breaker!
