Egg prices have dropped for the first time since October, down nearly 13 percent.
The average for a dozen right now is a little more than $5, which comes after hitting a record $6.23 in March, and part of that was due to strong Easter demand.
Despite the drop, prices remain 79 percent higher than this time a year ago.
