The Trump administration's secretary of agriculture, Brooke Rollins, suggested Americans keep chickens in their back yards in response to surging egg prices on Sunday during a Fox News appearance.
Newsweek contacted the Department of Agriculture for comment on Tuesday via email outside of regular office hours.
Why It MattersEgg prices in the United States have surged over the past couple of months, from $3.42 for a dozen on January 10 to $8.03 on February 26, according to Department of Agriculture figures. This has been damaging for Trump who argued that President Joe Biden's policies had caused grocery prices to surge ahead of the 2024 election.

Rollins discussed egg prices on Sunday during a discussion with Fox & Friends Weekend host Rachel Campos-Duffy, who is married to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
