I know that egg prices haven't dropped by 39% because Breitbart reports that they have.

And, as we all know, if Breitbart reports something, then it magically didn't happen.

Right?

Why have they dropped?

Because a new crop of chickens are able to produce eggs after millions were culled to stop the bird flu epidemic from causing severe damage to other livestock.

Derp!

Trumptards still are not understanding the life cycle of epidemics, in fact they hate epidemic experts and want to make up crimes to charge epidemic experts with. :Sad:

I have been prepared for some time to give a full answer to how Trump brangdid the price of eggs down.

A1 knows:

Yes, egg prices have recently come down from their peak earlier in 2025, but they remain high compared to historical averages.
Here's a summary of the situation:
  • Peak Prices: Egg prices surged to record highs in early 2025, reaching an average of $6.23 per dozen in March.
  • Recent Decline: In April 2025, the average price of a dozen Grade A eggs dropped to $5.12, representing the first month-to-month decline since October 2024.
  • Still Elevated: Despite this decrease, egg prices in April were still 49% higher than they were a year earlier (April 2024), when the average price was $2.86 per dozen.
  • Factors Contributing to High Prices:
    • Avian Influenza (Bird Flu): The primary driver of high egg prices is the ongoing outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, which has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying hens, significantly impacting the egg supply.
    • Inflation: Overall inflation, including rising production costs (feed, labor, transportation), has also contributed to the increase in egg prices.
  • Factors Contributing to Recent Decline:
    • Decreased Demand: Consumer demand for eggs tends to fall after Easter, which can help lower prices.
    • Fewer Bird Flu Outbreaks: A reduction in bird flu outbreaks at commercial poultry operations has helped stabilize the egg supply.
    • Increased Imports: The U.S. has increased egg imports from other countries to help boost supply.
In conclusion, while egg prices have decreased from their record highs, they are still considerably more expensive than they were a year ago due to the lasting effects of the bird flu outbreak and overall inflation.
