"Possibility Of Additional Outbreaks:" Bird Flu Strikes Iowa Egg Farm With Million Hens

 The unseasonable return of avian influenza or bird flu continues to wreak havoc on the US poultry industry

• The first infection since April was detected at a large commercial egg-laying farm in Iowa
• 47.7 million birds have been affected in 43 states, including 13 million killed in Iowa

The culling of tens of millions of birds has dented national egg supplies, sending prices sky-high and above 2015 outbreak levels (last major bird flu) to about $3 per dozen at the supermarket

• Retail egg prices have doubled since August 2020, straining consumers' wallets as breakfast inflation soars
