Pennsylvania police are investigating the theft of 100,000 eggs worth $40,000 from Pete and Gerry's Organics amid a severe egg shortage. The crisis is due to a bird flu outbreak, affecting millions of hens and causing egg prices to soar. The agriculture department predicts further price increases in 2025.
