Because you can test, contain and cull the chickens that are infected, while you just have to destroy the entire egg-charge as a whole.

Sorry you did not want an answer to your question. (also I don´t think that this is the only reason)

Maybe I’m totally off the mark with this thought, but also aren’t the egg laying hens bred and maintained separately from the grillers?

You seem to know about this, so I have a question… In the entire chicken and egg industry is it true that they just kill the males right after they’re born?

The males are killed because the meat of a Cock is not desired by the people.
Not only do they not lay eggs even if you would let them grew up you could not sell of the meat as any less than cat food.

Of course there are chosen ones that get raised to use for breeding but yes most of them are killed before they cost money.

Meat chickens aren't bred to lay eggs. Egg chickens like Leghorns lay lots of eggs but are relatively scrawny, body-wise. A chicken farmer may not necessarily keep both kinds of chickens.

1 BILLION+ EGGS EXPORTED IN 2024

THAT'S ~3 EGGS FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD IN THE US, EVEN THE VEGAN ONES. | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
My question is how is the US exporting many millions of dollars worth of eggs to foreign nations in the midst of an egg shortage.

As for meat vs egg stock...how does the virus know the difference?

Most meat birds go from day old chick to butchered in less than two months.

Egg birds take around 6-9 months before they start laying.

Kill off a million birds and you lose 365 million eggs until the replacements are producing.

That costs farmers money.

Feeding birds for 6-9 months with no ROI, then having to purchase/incubate new stock, further reducing consumer egg availability, and another 6-9 months of feeding birds before you can hope to start recouping your losses.

Result: high egg prices.

Follow the money, I speculate 'someone' is making more money off exporting the eggs than selling them within the country.

Another consideration, expiring vaccines and the vaccinating of millions of illegal immigrants absorbing resources.

Most of the "childhood vaccines", including measles, require millions of fertilized eggs be lost to the manufacture of the vaccines.

Flu TOO.

Possible one explanation.

This is true, egg components are also used commercially and industrial purposed for cosmetics, paints and adhesives.
