# Adapting to change: how poultry economics are evolving in the era of avian flu | FCC

> An FCC analysis forecasts Canadian broiler farm-gate prices to keep declining through the second half of 2024 before stabilizing in spring 2025. The decline reflects feed costs that are down about 22% from their December 2022 to February 2023 peak, while chick costs have risen due to avian flu supply shortages.

## Why it matters
