> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
