# Egg prices are finally falling. But they’re about to spike again | CNN Business

> CNN reported that more than 35 million egg-laying birds were lost to avian flu in 2025 so far, with 127 million laying birds killed since 2022. Egg prices have started falling after earlier peaks. The report warns that prices could spike again as losses continue.

## Why it matters

Continued bird losses keep layer numbers low and limit poultry feed demand. Renewed price spikes would reflect tight supply, which supports demand for corn and soybean meal from the sector over time.
