YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — The price of eggs is coming down, but real savings won’t be seen at the grocery store for a while.
Eggs have been expensive all year largely because of a nationwide bird flu outbreak, supply chain challenges and high feed costs. Bird flu alone knocked out about 10% of laying hens in 2022, said Rodney Holcomb, an agricultural economics professor at Oklahoma State University.
“It was a perfectly bad storm – not a perfect storm, a perfectly bad storm – of high energy prices, high feed prices and avian flu,” said Holcomb.
