Much of the rise seems to be caused by avian flu resulting in the deaths of about 10% of chickens in the US. That would not be a uniform 10% at every farm.
Some farms will have lost a lot more and some will have lost less or none.
I think that most retailers have contracts with a specific set of farms to supply those eggs, which will only be a small subset of all egg farms.
It could simply be that the farms Costco has contracts with happen to mostly be ones that haven't been hit hard with avian flu.
