Iowa reported an outbreak of highly lethal bird flu in a commercial flock of egg-laying chickens on Friday, raising the risk for further infections in the top US egg-producing state.

Iowa was already facing restrictions on exports of poultry products after a commercial turkey flock tested positive for the disease on Sunday.

As if we need any more reasons for food shortages and/or increased food costs.

I’ll take pestilence and famine for $800, Alex.

Just watch. Next will be Foot and Mouth disease to take out meat production.

Better bring back the masks.

I wonder if people who shop routinely at Costco are getting any savings compared with the regular supermarket.

We usually go there a couple of times a year and fill the freezer, but today my husband suspected that they wouldn’t be any better right now than other places.

[Huskrrrr]

Oh no. Goodbye $5.00 Costco roasted chicken.

If you don’t live in Iowa, buy locally grown, pasture-raised chicken. I buy that and my butcher says that’s all he’ll eat too.

Mandate for chickens to be vaxed or they won’t be allowed to lay eggs.

And here we go.

Russia claimed the Ukraine biolabs were working on a more lethal, mutated bird flu with a 50% kill rate FWIW. 🤔

Gone are the days when all a chicken grower had to worry about was PPLO and Air-sac.

And the hits just keep coming.

"...highly lethal bird flu in a commercial flock of egg-laying chickens..."

Happens every few years - that's why we have our own hens. Egg production away from commercial flocks.

And in a SHTF scenario, if you can raise 4 hens you can raise 40. The initial learning curve has already been scaled.
