Million Chickens are Killed in the USA

As far as I remember the cost of a dozen large white egg was about US$ 1.54 last year, January 2022.

I just back from a grocery, the price quite surprising me, US$ 5.2 for the same amount and type of eggs.

If we compared to the last year, thus the price has increased triple or more than 300%.

Fantastic. Unbelievable price increasing for me. Don’t make you wonder: why this happen?

Yes, we do understand that inflation is uncontrollable in recent days, but never reached double digits.

Unfortunately, millions of hens have been slaughtered due to “bird flu” or “avian influenza” diseases.

As reported by “the Centers for Disease Control (CDC, January, 2023) that no less than 57 million hens are eliminated due to virus outbreak across America.

Hence, the eggs supplies are decreasing in great number. Price goes up in the market.

Did your places experience with avian virus diseases?

  7. I would not feel like eating any eggs, because if they are not infected, they are loaded with medicine!: ((

  8. It is common but we do not understand and do not think it has an impact on chicken farmers or farmers, who produce all the food.
    Best regards.

  9. Desde que empezó la guerra,todos los precios están disparados. el aceite de oliva subió de 3.65 € a 5.15 € y los huevos al doble de precio. los grandes están a 3.15 la docena. Cada día diferentes precios.
    Un abrazo.

  10. It's a very similar situation here in the UK. Eggs are now rationed to two boxes per person.

  12. It's hit us hard here in Florida and our eggs are way up in price!

  13. Avian flu outbreak pops up in some states, but the affected states are quickly isolated. Prices never go that high here due to alternative supply from other states.
