The American Egg Board estimates the US flock at 340-345 million layers and production near 20.2 million cases per month. Exports have grown through 2026 but cannot fully absorb elevated supply, and chick hatch is projected down 3% versus 2025.
Persistently high layer numbers mean continued weak egg prices and steady feed use, with a possible easing of demand if the flock shrinks. The outlook is mildly bearish for layer feed ingredients.
