# Egg Market Update - June 2024 - AIFI, Inc.

> Continued H5N1 outbreaks have cut the US laying flock to 305.3 million as of May 1, with further losses from late-May outbreaks and a barn fire. Bulk egg prices have risen amid the supply shortfall. Egg-type pullet placements rose sharply in April, which may partly offset the losses.

## Why it matters

A shrinking layer flock tightens egg supply and pushes up prices, while rebuilding depends on pullet growth that is still months from full production. Feed demand from layers falls as flocks shrink, a modest drag on feed grains.
