The United States is currently experiencing a significant national egg shortage, primarily attributed to the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), commonly known as bird flu. This devastating disease has led to a drastic reduction in the laying hen population, with approximately 40 million hens lost to the bird flu in the U.S. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has reported severe outbreaks, noting over 18 million birds affected in December and an additional eight million in January. This reduction in supply has coincided with a surge in demand, as retail egg sales have been up year-over-year for 21 consecutive months, further amplified by the high-demand winter holiday season, characterized by increased baking and entertaining.
