Fauci strikes again.
sucks, but it happens.
I have seen how these operations work and I really do not approve as they are not how I would work them.
there are better ways, where you do not have millions of birds all together in one place.
Company press release: We’ve lost 3.6% of our total flock and therefore must raise prices by 30%.
I’m thinking about quail and rabbit. They are quiet and I can keep them out of sight. Cannot have chickens in my town, yet they are OK in neighboring, larger towns like Athens. Sheesh.
Wife and I been talking about LA. I freaking hate moving. But it’s acreage and there is deer and hogs.
Part of the plan to end food.
1 million here, 1 million there, and pretty soon you are talking a lot of chickens. But Cal-Maine has numerous facilities, and 1 million in just about every one of them. If this problem does not spread further, I think the egg supply will be in OK shape. I suppose that’s a big if…
By the way, my son works for them, and his facility is one among several working to cover the deliveries that the affected egg facility is not going to be able to fulfill. ( Apparently, though, the eggs from the affected facility are not dangerous to eat, assuming you cook them normally.)
5 laying hens and one present rooster in protected enclosure— problem solved. Plenty of eggs on site. Must be careful where the enclosure is in some urban settings. In the country- zero problem
Gotta wonder how many VIALS of contagions they are going to release in strategic places. I'm sure they've taken the antidotes for them, too.
Chicom biological attack.
Deliberate or typical failed regulatory quality control.
I was at Tractor Supply today, and they were unboxing a few crates of baby chicks. The older chicks not sold were marked down to one dollar each.
Exactly. Those huge places are filthy and birds are mistreated. I buy only pasture-raised eggs from a company in my state, sold at Natural Grocer and Safeway. A friend knows the man who raises them and says he’s very careful to give his hens the best possible feed.
Eat the bugs!
Just put masks on the chickens. Two weeks to stop the spread.
We know it’s coming...

Squab is good.
If you omit the rooster the hens remain more incognito. As the hens age out, replace them with young hens and retire the old hens to your dinner table.
