No, the price has legitimately skyrocketed.

Between inflation, the holidays, and the over 50 million chickens killed by avian flu and cullings, the price has tripled over three years.
Even if only comparing versus May 2022, it was $2.863/dozen in an average American city, compared to $4.823 in January 2023, a 59% increase.
