# Crises don’t faze U.S. poultry, egg industries

> The US poultry and egg industries are recovering from COVID-related demand swings and the HPAI outbreak, which has removed over 43 million egg-laying hens since 2022. USDA expects egg export volumes to face downward pressure through 2024 and 2025 while flocks rebuild. Broiler and turkey price outlooks are more optimistic on domestic demand.

## Why it matters

Weaker egg exports and a slow flock rebuild keep egg supply tight, which supports prices. Limited export pull means less demand for feed from the layer sector, though domestic broiler strength supports poultry feed use.
