Under the Biden-Harris administration, farmers were forced to cull tens of millions of egg-laying hens to contain the bird flu outbreak. As a direct result, the nation’s total egg-laying flock has plunged to its lowest level in nearly a decade, driving wholesale egg prices to record highs.
Trump stated this week that Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins will take action on soaring egg prices, adding, “We inherited all the problems.”
Trump is correct in saying the egg-flation mess was “inherited,” as the latest Bloomberg data shows that the nation’s egg-laying hen population fell to its lowest level since 2016 last month. This decline was driven by farmers being forced to cull flocks under Biden’s first term to curb the bird flu outbreak.
“It was important to me to see firsthand an egg-laying farm facility implementing strong biosecurity measures. We have a lot of work to do as we combat avian flu, help our poultry industry recover, and bring the price of eggs down for all Americans. More coming mid-week on this,” Rollins wrote on X on Monday.
