Egg prices are very high because of a bird flu outbreak. The government says prices could go up more than 40% by 2025.

Many chickens had to be killed to stop the flu from spreading. This means there are fewer eggs, so they cost more.

The government wants to help farmers protect their birds from the flu. They will give money to farmers to make their farms safer.

Farmers are working hard to keep their birds healthy. They are cleaning their farms and making sure workers don't bring the flu in.

It will take time for egg prices to go down, even with the government's help. Hopefully, prices will start to get better by the summer.
