How the hell does one kill 2 MILLION hens?

I was going to ask the same question!

Hopefully Sen Rand Paul has the records where Fauci paid for research in Wuhan to gain of function research on the Bird Flu to make it transmittable from birds to cows then to humans.

Ever talk to anyone who works for APHIS? We don't monkey around with avian influenza or 101 other animal diseases. APHIS is perfectly prepared to kill every cow in Iowa if that's what it takes to contain an outbreak of hoof and mouth disease. They will kill the infected animals and potentially infected animals immediately and settle up with the farmers later.

I think we should put APHIS in charge of the border. That could solve a lot of problems.

Shut down ventilation and heat up the building. Sometimes pump in CO2 or firefighting foam.

Throughout the Great Recession I sold a group of lumber yards in eastern NC. They had three customers that built chicken houses. The push was on to move a lot of the chicken production from AR to eastern NC. This was because it made the shipment to the northeast US and Europe cheaper.

Over a few years I sold hundreds of trucks of lumber to that company just for the construction of chicken houses.
They were all built they exact same way. 4x4 posts. 2x4-12’ to brace the posts and then they used them for purlins on the side walls and roof trusses. Metal side walls and metal roofing.

The other thing that helped me survive that time was ACCESS MATS. Also known as swap mats. I had a customer that built wooden road mats primarily used up swampy areas of Alberta.
They were built out of 2x8-8 and 2x8-14 in a three layer mat construction. I sold hundreds of trucks of just 2x8 8 & 14 Douglas Fir, Hem Fir and white fir.

These mats were used to drive oil drilling equipment to the sites. The mats were laid on the ground and driven on. There were also mats known as rig mats. They were built out of 6" Doug Fir timbers with a steel frame around them. They were laid down at the drilling site. The other timber mat used throughout North American are know as crane mats. They are made of 12 x 12-16'. They are laid on the ground for a crane and excavator to drive on when a pipeline is being installed. This was when we were doing 450K-700K US housing starts. Now, we are doing 1.2 to 1.6 million as a comparison. Many of these items are still used today. The difference was back then oil hit $150/barrel. Horizontal drilling was just being developed. They were drilling for oil everywhere they could. But hardly anyone was building house. We had to find new people that bought lumber.
