The price of eggs has skyrocketed-- if eggs are even available -- at some Reno grocers as avian flu continues to cause nationwide shortages. The shelves have been empty for nearly three weeks at the Safeway at Damonte Ranch Town Center,

Currently, egg prices in Brevard County range from $3.50 to $7.50 per dozen, depending on the store and the type of eggs. "We are experiencing shortages of eggs due to the ongoing Avian Bird Flu (HPAI) situation," said Lindsey Willis, media relations manager for Publix.

A highly infectious strain of avian influenza, or "bird flu," has led to a steep incline in egg prices around the country.
