I suspect many farmers have either gotten out of the egg business or diversified their business away from eggs. If you had 10,000 chickens and they get wiped out, how easy is it to replace them? Seems the damage would make the farmers reluctant to subject themselves to such future risks again. For costs sake, you may only buy a few thousand and reduce your financial exposure and invest in something else.
Government pays for birds and disposal. I think you have to buy new on your own. I do know hatchery prices are insane 5bto 10 per day old chicken. Turkeys are 20 per and you have to order 15. Most are already near sold out on turkeys

If the dems were in charge they would want to issue “egg stamps” a supplement to food stamps, so low income people could afford eggs.
