Why is there an egg shortage but not a chicken shortage?

The avian flu outbreak that caused millions of chickens to be killed to limit the outbreak break cause egg prices to soar.
So why is it not affecting the children market?

Chicks don't lay eggs immediately. It takes time to mature to be of egg laying age. Is this really that hard of a concept?

You can eat chickens a lot faster than them beginning to lay eggs.

Chickens used for meat aren’t the same as the chickens used for eggs. Egg layers have been bred to lay great eggs in high supply. Meat chickens have been bred to get plump and produce more meat. The avian flu is disproportionately effecting the egg layers

It’s likely the two different types of chickens don’t have much cross contamination. The meat chickens all come from certain farms then go to other farms as chicks to be raised, fattened, and farmed. I’d imagine the egg ones are similar, and the source of contamination is in the farms that source the chicks for egg laying
The other potential factor is that the flu may spread by fluids when laying eggs, which would then have much more exposure for the layers than the meaters

We are talking only about 5-6 weeks difference.

Here you go:

Fryer chickens are generally not getting bird flu because of strict biosecurity measures implemented on commercial poultry farms, which limit contact with wild birds that can carry the virus, coupled with rigorous monitoring and rapid response systems that quickly identify and isolate any infected birds, preventing widespread outbreaks within the flock; additionally, many commercial chicken breeds are selectively bred to have some level of natural resistance to avian influenza.

In the poultry industry, there are birds that are used for meat, and there are birds that are used for egg laying. They are two different things.

Chickens usually start laying eggs around 18–22 weeks of age, but this can vary depending on the breed, environment, and nutrition.
