Farmers are calling for a 40p increase in the cost of a dozen eggs to meet the rising costs.
"We're going to have a desperate egg shortage by Christmas if things don't change," said farmer David Sharples.Mr Sharples, who farms in Denbighshire, said rising feed cost meant there was little to no profit margin for farmers.
"We're really struggling, and we really do need a price increase of nigh on 40p per dozen eggs," he said.
'It's like going up against a brick wall'
"Our feed has really gone up in price nearly 50%, and feed constitutes about 60-70% of the egg production costs," said Mr Sharples, who owns Clyttir Farm in Llanbedr DC, Ruthin.
He said UK retailers were giving nothing back to farmers, and the only thing they understood would be a "food shortage".
