Many people have heard the children’s rhyme about Humpty Dumpty, the large egg who had a “great fall” from a wall and cracked his shell. If Humpty Dumpty were real, that crack would be costly in today’s market. At the height of the egg market, that egg would have cost 140% more on average than one year ago ($1.80 per dozen then versus $4.25 per dozen). Both literally and figuratively, that’s not chicken feed.
