These industry figures don't seem to square with a two- or three-digit percentage spike in egg prices last year, Farm Action claims. Bird flu's significant impact on hen supply has been the most notable driver, while egg demand has remained strong, Bowman said in a written statement. In this case, that means there's generally not a 1:1 relationship between egg or hen supply and egg prices. Amy Smith vice president at Advanced Economic SolutionsThe dynamic is largely due to a "compounding effect" of demand, Rubio said. Once a farm suffers a flu outbreak, it likely won't produce eggs again for at least six months, Rubio said.
