SUMMARY: Concerns over rising egg prices have increased after a suspected bird flu case at a Tennessee commercial chicken facility last week. The state reported a significant loss of chickens, with over 100 million birds affected by various outbreaks. This has led to fewer eggs reaching the market, pushing prices up to $3.37 per dozen, up from $2 last year. Economists note that the egg industry is focusing on rebuilding flocks, which limits egg availability. Experts say bird flu poses minimal risk to humans but stress the importance of flu vaccinations over concerns about bird flu. A 6.2-mile control zone is in place.

The Tennessee Department of Agriculture said a case had been reported in a West Tennessee facility last week.
