Your Thanksgiving turkey might be more expensive and harder to find this year.

CNN— Your Thanksgiving turkey might be more expensive and harder to find this year.

In the case of cost per pound a whole bird will run about 73 % more now than they did last year which according to the USDA comes out to about $1.99 a pound compared to $1.15 last year.

In terms of availability, the bird flu is partially to blame for the short supply.
