It definitely causes major supply disruptions. When they cull they are shutting down the coop for a few weeks to remove the dead chickens and then thoroughly clean it. It's not just the ones they've culled, it's also all the ones they couldn't raise due contending with the outbreak. Plus you have to consider the disruptions caused to replacing egg laying hens

Oh sure layers have a much longer replacement time, and may have an effect on egg prices... Though I suspect cage free regulations have far more cost.... Meat bird processing though is actually up several percent year over year. Now the effect of the price of say diesal and feed... That I would believe as a price increase force..
