An industry overview says HPAI has affected about 8.97 million broiler and breeder birds across 34 US states since February 2022, roughly 0.03% of chicks placed. Broiler losses in 2024 reached 3.93 million birds so far, a 61% increase over 2023, though most losses have been in turkeys and layers.
Broiler losses remain small relative to placements and overall livability is steady, so the effect on chicken supply and prices is limited. Rising 2024 losses are a watch point for tighter meat supply if outbreaks spread.
