But once the layers’ population was restored, the prices went down. Historically, in 2015 prices increased due to an avian influenza outbreak like this one.

The sooner we are free of the disease, the sooner flocks can be restored and remain stable, which will make prices go back down. Keep their birds away from waterfowl, which are the main transmitter of avian influenza. Hopefully avian influenza will lessen as well as feed costs.Įncourage anyone you know with backyard birds to practice good biosecurity. There’s not much you can do to affect the price. In the meantime, what is your advice for consumers?Įggs are still a very inexpensive source of nutrition. If more flocks are hit, inflation increases and demand continues to rise, then this could last longer. It also depends on the other factors above. Helpfully, the map labels it as 'Capsized' when you get on it. Theres a red capsized boat over by the East side of the map. As an edit, I also found the portal on Armada. It takes a layer 20+ weeks to start laying eggs from the day they are hatched, so that’s about four to six months. And I know how flimsy of a statement 'Trust me, its there' is. Producers need to replace the lost layers. What will need to change for prices to fall again? But we are also seeing increased demand due to inflation, as people are consuming eggs more instead of other protein sources which are also seeing increased costs. It’s normal for the holidays to see increased egg costs (people use eggs more in bakery products). Many are commercial layers so supply is down at least 5%.Īnother is inflation, which is increasing the costs of feedstuffs (corn and soybean) used in feed, and fuel (gas, diesel, electricity, natural gas) needed to transport eggs and run farms.

the setup is long boring and drug out they seriously need to fix this because when youre on the last step they send everything and you already arent to sure on where to activate the canister.

There are multiple factors affecting the price of eggs right now: What is driving this increase in egg prices? To help explain these recent trends, Texas A&M Today spoke with Gregory Archer, a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension specialist and associate professor in A&M’s Department of Poultry Science. And many are wondering how long they’ll have to wait for prices to go back down. In the face of these higher costs, some are even considering raising their own chickens at home. Shoppers have recently been shelling out more and more money to get their hands on a common supermarket staple, as the price of eggs continues to climb across Texas and the United States.
