I heard that the egg prices are out of control due to bird flu and greed. How did this situation impact the chicken meat prices?
It’s hard to google local prices actual people pay in other countries for commodity goods like chicken and bread :/

That’s exactly it. In meat production, if you have to sacrifice the entire stock because of flu, in six weeks you’re back in busines.
For a hen to lay eggs it needs to reach maturity, that takes at least 20 weeks.
From what I hear, the hatcheries are (or at least were) super screwed. Some did specifically switch from layers to almost exclusively meat birds based on the random farming youtubers I watch.
