Why are eggs so expensive?

The pandemic and inflation play a role in rising egg prices, but the real culprit is an outbreak of H5N1, a highly transmissible and fatal strain of avian influenza, or bird flu. The outbreak started in early 2022 and quickly grew into the largest bird flu outbreak in U.S. history. As of Nov. 8, the virus has affected nearly 105.2 million birds in the U.S. since January 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

With so many birds lost to the virus, egg production isn’t keeping up with consumer demand. That egg shortage has pushed up prices, which will remain volatile until producers rebuild their flocks and increase egg production.

New bird flu cases continue to be reported by major U.S. egg producers. Most recently, outbreaks affecting more than 2.84 million egg layers were reported in October at commercial facilities in Oregon, Washington and Utah, according to the CDC.

None of this had to do with Joe Biden...and you could have saved yourself a lot of angst had you simply used your computer before logging onto the UHND Open Forum...and making a fool of yourself.
