Highly pathogenic avian influenza was confirmed in 1.3 million commercial egg layers in Weld County, Colorado, and 722,000 birds in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Within the past 30 days, 59 flocks were affected, with 4.9 million birds involved across the US.
Large layer losses reduce egg supply and can support egg prices, adding modest demand for layer feed. The scale is significant but well below prior peak outbreaks, so feed price impact stays limited.
