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

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:
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.
- 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.
