Poultry production and total sales increased in 2022 due to increased demand and product prices. However, increases in feed grain prices and the avian influenza outbreak increased production costs. In 2022, total sales of poultry increased by 14.0% from 2021 to $4.2 billion. Poultry farmers produced 1.5 billion kilograms of chicken, turkey and stewing hens. Egg production increased by 2.2% from 847.9 million dozen eggs in 2021 to 866.5 million dozen in 2022.
