# Bird Flu Outbreaks Continue to Disrupt US Egg Supply & Prices

> Retail egg prices fell about 18% in April from March's record, though they remain up 79% year over year. Bird flu, which has cycled through US flocks since 2022, continues to force culling of entire flocks after each detection and to disrupt egg supply.

## Why it matters

Persistent culling keeps layer numbers below normal, which limits demand for feed grains over time. Egg prices themselves do not move the feed markets much.
