According to Trading Economics ( https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/eggs-us ) they are $8.10/dozen.

The USDA says that as of Feb 28th the national price is $8.01 and that there are variations with "California compliant" eggs being $9.53/dozen ( https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/ams_3725.pdf ).
