![Eier- und Hühnerpreise seit 1980: Eigelb ist auf uns [OC]](https://www.bytesde.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/qkcxe7fvvwff1-1536x994.png "Eier- und Hühnerpreise seit 1980: Eigelb ist auf uns [OC]")
Seit 1980 ist der Preis für Hühnchen pro Pfund ziemlich stetig nach der Inflation gefolgt. Eier? Nicht so sehr.
Dieses Diagramm zeigt monatliche US -Preisindizes für Hühnchen (LB) und Eier (Dutzend), normalisiert auf 1980 und auf einer logarithmischen Skala. Die jüngsten Preisspikes in Eiern werden von Ausbrüchen der Vogelgrippe, der Schockkettenschocks und der wilden Nachfrageschwünge angetrieben.

Normalized chicken and egg price indices were calculated with the following equation: Index Value = (Current Price ÷ Price in 1980) × 100
Maybe this is naive of me, but I’d have expected that Chicken & Egg prices would be a lot more closely related- why aren’t they?
From the description I see Avian flu, supply chain, and demand- but I’d imagine that Avian Flu and Supply Chain issues affect both of them similarly. Plus there’s still massive variation even prior to 2020.
(Btw in case tone is conveyed wrong- this isn’t a criticism of the post, I’m just genuinely curious why there’s so much variation between them)
I takes more time to raise laying hens than it does for poultry (something like 3 years vs 9 months). So an event like bird flu has a much bigger impact on the relevant bird population.
Amazing how the issue of inflation and high prices disappeared despite continued upwards trends.
Egg prices are more volatile than chicken meat because laying hens are highly vulnerable to avian flu, and when they’re culled, it takes months to replace them. Meat chickens grow fast and can be restocked quickly, which helps stabilize prices. Eggs also have inelastic demand and can’t be stored long, so even small supply shocks cause big price spikes.
Both those series should have inflation taken out of the equation..
