# Chicken meat prices hold steady despite rising egg costs - AgriLife Today

> Texas A&M AgriLife extension experts report that retail chicken meat prices have not risen alongside soaring egg prices despite HPAI outbreaks. They attribute this to broiler farms' short production cycles, smaller flocks per farm, and faster recovery after outbreaks.

## Why it matters

Broiler supply has proven more resilient to avian flu than layer supply, so chicken feed demand and prices stay steadier than egg-linked markets, limiting upside for poultry feed demand from outbreaks.
