Will egg prices go up amid more bird flu outbreaks? 

Apr 11, 2024
Retail egg prices rose between 7.2% and 9.2% from the 2022 outbreak, according to a University of Arkansas paper.
Egg prices more than doubled at the beginning of 2023, after the bird flu infected tens of millions of hens, compared to the same period the previous year.
