What Will Even Out First? Chicken Prices or Egg Prices?

The focus is on turkey for next week.  There are turkeys to sell, but the price is pretty stiff.  Avian Flu has hit turkey hard this year and unlike to previous outbreak in 2015 this one is not over yet.  The avian flu numbers for the week, are relatively modest with 9 new reports affecting 50K birds.  Total birds affected so far this year, 50.3 million.  While turkeys were hit very hard, chicken down the southern seaboard were relatively virus free and there is way too much chicken on the market right now.  For the second week in a row eggs sets are below last year so numbers will ease in the coming weeks.  Right now chicken is “cheap” and plentiful and I don’t see that changing at least the next couple weeks.  Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn
