flag Egg prices dropped sharply in 2025–2026 due to recovered flocks and higher supply, but farmers face losses as prices fell below production costs.

flag Egg prices in the U.S. have dropped significantly since early 2025, with the national average for a dozen eggs falling to $2.50 by February, down from over $6 a year earlier. flag This decline follows the recovery of chicken flocks after a severe avian flu outbreak, improved biosecurity measures, and increased production, resulting in about 9 million more laying hens. flag While consumers are seeing lower prices and greater availability—especially ahead of Easter—egg farmers are struggling as wholesale prices have dropped more than 90%, falling below production costs. flag Despite the relief on egg prices, broader grocery costs remain high, particularly for beef, and chocolate egg prices continue to rise.
