Ten eggs in Germany cost 2 euro

That's .20 euro cent per egg, converted to .26 US cents by today's exchange rate.

How much is an egg in your neighborhood?

Grade A. Have I ever seen a carton labeled Grade B? No.
There's medium, which is about the smallest offered anywhere that I see anyway. Then there's Large and X-tra Large. Upgrades can be cage-free and/or organic. And prices vary store to store.

I might score medium dozen at about $3.99-4.29.
Normal Large $4.29-5.29
Cage-free/organic add I don't really pay strict attention to ... add .80 to $1.49 a dozen.

So to answer the question. ordinary large eggs about $.40 to .50 each. Where I shop anyway.

Of course corporations know Republicans will never investigate or hold them accountable.

my egg provider includes a photo of the Hen of the Month, which happens to be "Bubbly Barbara", and if you eat the egg with "Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music' playing in the background, and think of your chicken feeding in the lush green grasses of mountainous Vermont, the cost is less vomit inducing.

26 cents wouldn’t even come close to covering my costs. Their feed is expensive—and they eat all day long and still manage to complain.

I give away about a dozen eggs each day to people who need them. I would’ve loved to donate them to a food pantry, but unfortunately, current regulations don’t allow me to do that.
