- Since 2022, bird flu has impacted more than 166 million poultry, with about 127 million of those being egg-laying hens, across ten states in the U.S.
- The outbreak resulted in an average yearly loss of 42.3 million egg-laying hens, representing roughly 11 percent of the average annual inventory of 383 million layers over the past five years.

- A study revealed that more than 30% of Americans ceased purchasing eggs due to steep price increases, leading to reduced demand, a drop in prices, and a rise in egg imports from Turkey, Brazil, and South Korea.
- Although egg prices fell to $2.52 per dozen nationally and dropped over 61% since January 2017, demand remains below average amid ongoing outbreak effects.
