2025-2026年,由于羊群收复和供应增加,鸡蛋价格急剧下跌,但农民由于价格低于生产成本而面临损失。 Egg prices dropped sharply in 2025–2026 due to recovered flocks and higher supply, but farmers face losses as prices fell below production costs.

自2025年初以来,美国鸡蛋价格大幅下跌,全国12个鸡蛋的平均价格从一年前的6美元降至2月的2.50美元。 Egg prices in the U.S. have dropped significantly since early 2025, with the national average for a dozen eggs falling to $2.50 by February, down from over $6 a year earlier. 这一下降是在严重禽流感爆发后鸡群恢复、生物安保措施改善和产量增加,导致大约900万只多产鸡之后发生的。 This decline follows the recovery of chicken flocks after a severe avian flu outbreak, improved biosecurity measures, and increased production, resulting in about 9 million more laying hens. 虽然消费者看到价格下降和供应量增加,特别是在复活节之前,但是,由于批发价格下跌90%以上,低于生产成本,鸡蛋农民正在挣扎。 While consumers are seeing lower prices and greater availability—especially ahead of Easter—egg farmers are struggling as wholesale prices have dropped more than 90%, falling below production costs. 尽管鸡蛋价格有所缓解,但更为广泛的杂货杂货价格仍然很高,特别是牛肉,巧克力蛋价格继续上涨。 Despite the relief on egg prices, broader grocery costs remain high, particularly for beef, and chocolate egg prices continue to rise.
