This is why Canada has plenty of eggs — and the U.S. doesn’t

Egg prices in the U.S. have soared, and the government is searching for solutions. Just across the border, Canada seems to have cracked the code—its egg supply remains steady and affordable. The difference? Smaller farms, a tightly managed supply system, and fewer free-range birds exposed to avian flu. Meanwhile, the U.S. industry, built for volume and efficiency, has left itself vulnerable to sudden disruptions. With Easter approaching and demand rising, policymakers are eyeing Canada’s model—or at least its eggs—for relief.
