My problem is we have three teenagers of our own plus an extra one who lives with us 60% of the time. Two of them are vegetarian but eat eggs for protein. The rest of us just like eggs. We go through about 3-4 dozen a week.

My son ate a ton of eggs when he was veg. Now he's vegan and eats fake eggs which are much more expensive.

5-6, and eggs aren’t expensive yet. I guess wherever we get eggs from don’t have avian flu yet …. Although it’s here in the wild
I have a bowl of cereal (yogurt and fruit) during the week, but usually make something with eggs on the weekend.
zero, vegan
Around 12.
Eggs are incredible nutrition value and I'd still pay 12$ for 12 eggs. In fact I do splurge on local market eggs that come from free range chickens and here they are around 5$ for 12 which is double the factory price but still and an incredible steal.
That's why the great American egg whine of 2024 is so confusing. Min wage in the US is still like 24++ eggs an hour which is an insane thing to complain about. Y'all need financial literacy not cheaper eggs.

i eat one to two eggs per day, so anywhere from seven to fourteen a week. it's about $1 per egg.
... hong kong $.
If we count fast food breakfast sandwiches and meals at places maybe 6 or 7 a week. If not, zero, as I usually make regular ol sandwiches at home.
I forgot to count those - i do grab a breakfast burrito or sandwich for lunch about once a week.
I guess around 8-12, sometimes more, rarely less.
~30
I'm vegan BTW
Yeah, but how many eggs do you eat? /s
Six; 42 a week! Easy way to hit my protein goals everyday and maintain those gains :D
Most weeks maybe just un oeuf. I think since I stopped eating breakfast and found out my body hates gluten (so heavily reducing baked goods, my other main use of eggs), my egg consumption went way down. The one weekly is generally from going to get sushi and there being some tamagoyaki in there. I guess the odd exception is throwing one (boiled or raw) into soup and the rare occasion that I knock out a fried rice.
Edit: I think 10 local eggs are around 500 yen, at least the last time I checked. More expensive than non-local, and the price has definitely gone up generally in the last few years.
