Bird Flu is leading to higher egg prices across Wisconsin.
Egg supplies are running shorter as we move further into winter, contributing to the rising costs. Nancy Kellner, an organic egg producer in Brown County, explains that her production has been behind because she was unable to get a new flock of one-thousand hens on time last fall due to Avian flu. Kellner explains that older birds at farms like hers do not produce as many eggs, particularly during the winter, meaning hers and other operations are still below their normal output.
