Why Are Eggs So Expensive
By Pierre Mouchette | Bits-n-Pieces
If you have noticed that eggs are more expensive at the supermarket, you are not alone, and it is not just the usual grocery inflation that you see in other aisles at the store.  The USDA has confirmed that the avian flu is spreading among many birds in the United States, infecting backyard and commercial chickens and turkeys.
Commercial layer chickens in Iowa, Maryland, South Dakota, and Wisconsin have been affected.  The state with the most endangered layer chickens is Iowa, which produces the most eggs in the U.S.  Backyard chickens in 19 states, from Maine to Nebraska, have also come down with the virus.  Millions of poultry birds have died because they succumbed to the flu or were killed to prevent it from spreading further.  Commercial flocks most likely caught the virus from wild birds, who have also tested positive for the virus. 
​
Inflation and increased feed prices due to the war in Ukraine are two other reasons for the price increases.  As the outbreak continues, further depopulation could compound the problem.
