Apparently the April 2012 H5N1 poultry outbreak, 5 months ago, is partially responsible for the current increase in egg prices. It is possible that the lower supply of eggs could be due to a continuing bird flu H5N1 outbreak.

Also, the government says that 10 million chickens were culled in response to the April outbreak. China reported to OIE that only 95000 were susceptible to the outbreak yet apparently they culled 10 million. This is also sign that the April outbreak may have continued.
