While egg prices are finally dropping, it's still not a bad idea to raise your own chickens.
Dek Terrel, an economics professor at LSU, says it's basic egg-onomics.
"The bird flu has affected about 58 million chickens that were laying eggs, so that's reduced the supply of eggs," Terrel said.
Low supply means increased demand, which means higher prices.
