Highly pathogenic avian influenza has led to 16 commercial laying flock cases in five states since November 2023, with about 12.9 million laying hens euthanized. Losses equal roughly 4% of the US table-egg flock, and detections at pullet facilities will delay restocking.
So far the impact on egg product prices has been muted compared with 2022.
Lost layers and delayed pullet replacement tighten egg supply ahead of seasonal demand, a risk for poultry prices, though the modest scale so far limits the price effect.
