The Georgia Department of Agriculture has lifted the suspension of poultry activities in Georgia, one of the country’s top poultry-producing states, after bird flu testing, depopulation, cleaning and disinfecting were done in the area and no new cases were found.

Bird flu variant found in Nevada cows shows signs of adaptation to mammals

In January, all poultry exhibitions, shows, swaps, meets and sales in Georgia were suspended after positive bird flu cases in Elbert County were identified at two facilities by the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the US Department of Agriculture. The cases were the first in a commercial poultry operation in Georgia since the nationwide outbreak of bird flu began in 2022.

In response to the detections, more than 100 other all commercial poultry operations within a 6-mile radius were placed under quarantine and went through surveillance testing.

As poultry activities resume, the two impacted facilities in Elbert County remain under quarantine “until further notice,” the department said in a news release Monday.

According to Joe Salatin, they’re using the PCR tests to test the birds

I was wondering if they ever found bird flu or they just say they did and then destroyed the birds

Thankfully eggs keep for a good while when you have them in the fridge. I also have a lot of eggs myself or at least I did until they started becoming six and seven dollars for a dozen.

There you go! Crowing about your eggs, again! ;-)

My chickens are huddled inside while a cold storm blows. I get few eggs with all this snow on the ground.

I would not be surprised to learn that the bird flu epidemic was a manufactured crisis to may way for lab grown substitutes.

Put pictures of spring on the wall...or find a farming movie for them. It’s not like they have big brains.

The vax companies have the solution. Remember swine flu... Rinse and repeat. Of note, no need for slaughter, a two week quarantine would work, with out the loss. Also noted above, they are using PCR tests, that don’t actually test for any flu. More propaganda. Very sad truly!

I haven’t heard of any bird flu in Canada and Mexico. Why is that?
