USDA's Economic Research Service reported that the average retail egg price fell to $5.12 a dozen in April 2025, more than a dollar below its March peak. Wholesale egg prices dropped to $3.74 a dozen in April from $8.20 in February as demand eased and HPAI confirmations paused.
Lower wholesale egg prices reduce feed-use economics for layer operations and signal weaker demand for feed tied to egg production, while retail prices lag and stay elevated longer.
