Wholesale frozen turkey hens traded near $1.81 a pound in early November 2026, up from 2025, after bird flu hit commercial flocks in September and October. USDA's November WASDE raised its 2026 wholesale turkey forecast to $1.77 a pound, while some retailers sold frozen birds for 75-79 cents.
Bird flu losses reduce turkey supply and support wholesale prices into Thanksgiving, though retail promotions show the gap between wholesale and shelf prices. For feed buyers, turkey demand and flock losses have only a modest link to feed grain prices.
