The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced plans to spend $100 million to study bird flu vaccines.
The move has been delayed in part because of concerns it could jeopardize chicken exports.
Without a new policy including vaccines, the government will continue to slaughter every flock with a bird flu infection to limit the spread of the disease.
The USDA has predicted that average egg prices will be 41% higher than the 2024 average of $ 3.17 per dozen.
Prices may ease somewhat later this year after peak demand, which happens around Easter , if massive egg farms in California , Iowa , Ohio and elsewhere can avoid more outbreaks.
