Eggs are already going thru thru roof pricewise, now the meat chickens provide will as well............
I really don’t understand this. Is it overkill?
Pathogens like the flu don’t survive in dead organism. Plus, even modest cooking kills them.
I think this is overreaction.
Eggs here are $4+ a dozen.
We have 4 hens so it’s not a big deal for us...........
Dumb question: How is this spreading from one poultry farm to another? Don’t the birds go straight from the farm to the slaughterhouse?
Foul play??
Now the PETA types don’t even have to burn a poultry operation down. They can just arrange to “find” a scary pathogen and shut it all down.
CDC site on "Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1)" says "Cook poultry, eggs, and beef to a safe internal temperature to kill bacteria and viruses."
Sounds like it's time for a barbecue or other sort of cook out. Use the rolled up newspapers to kindle the fire. Then stop being so afraid....
Chickens are big business in Georgia.
I’m really curious where the 6.2 mile quarantine zone came from. Why 6. TWO? Is that conversion to kilometers? If so, why kilometers? Is this based on something they’re doing in Europe? It just seems odd..
We are under attack.
Anybody else highly suspicious this is a false report by a disgruntled government worker to sabotage Trump? Punish Georgia for voting wrong?
One positive case out of how many samples?
Glad when humans get flu symptoms they aren’t rounded up for killing.
Wonder if the price of chickens and eggs will skyrocket. The eggs that used to be about 2 bucks a dozen are now $10 to $11 a dozen. Waiting to see how many eateries will fold up with the new prices of eggs and the birds.
My rural area is seeing a boom in laying hen and chicken sales.
I spoke with a relative in Georgia two days ago and they all had the flu.
Would the price of chicken parts cost end up costing more than Filet Mignon?
all chickens in Ga.???
is this true?
not hearing this from other news sources ...
Masks for chickens.
Georgia, where the USDA lab released the virus.
Arkansas is a major chicken producer...any flu news from there.
Do you have a link for this? I talked to a grower and he was not aware of it
thx
