Fresh, local eggs have remained around the same price here. While more expensive than eggs from large producers in normal times, they are now often cheaper.

This is a great reminder of how important it is to support local farmers and small operations, which increase the resilience of the system as a whole.

Are small local farms able to keep producing as normal because the birds aren’t getting bird flu or because they’re not testing/killing them?

Depends on where you're at. I mentioned in my last comment that bird flu is killing snow geese nesting near me. It's also infecting crows. The snow geese are not likely to interact with backyard chickens but the crows absolutely will.
