Egg prices in the U.S. have spiked to over $8 per dozen due to USDA "stamping out" policies that require the culling of entire flocks within 48 hours of a single bird flu detection. One Michigan producer was forced to kill 6.5 million chickens. While some experts advocate for poultry vaccination, current trade concerns prevent its implementation. Notably, meat chicken prices remain stable as the outbreaks are concentrated in egg-laying facilities.
