FLEO Blog reports that US retail egg prices fell sharply in 2026, with February at $2.50 a dozen and April at $2.25, as the table-egg layer flock recovered to 315.8 million by March 1. It also notes that HPAI killed about 9.47 million layers in February 2026 and that the hatching flock fell in April.
A recovered layer flock lowers egg prices and reduces feed demand from the layer sector, while the hatching flock decline could signal tighter future supply and firmer feed use later.
