Egg prices are already high, but officials say they are only going to go up more in 2025. Here's how much you could pay and why they are so expensive.

Recent bird flu outbreaks have shrunk the supply of eggs, raising prices. President Donald Trump made a campaign pledge to lower food prices.

More than 145 million chickens, turkeys and other birds have been slaughtered since the current bird flu outbreak began in 2022.

The USDA attributed the rise in egg costs to an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, or bird flu, which has caused a strain in supply. The rise in prices is not sudden, as eggs cost 36.
