I didn't realize about the cats..........

Ducks and geese I realize, but as they are not so commercially grown as chickens and turkeys, particularly in this region, I just tend to use the word poultry.

I guess my big thing is with the ease at which it can be transfered from flock to flock, it only stands to reason as the strains mutate it is only a matter of time.

I may joke about my 150,000 feathered neighbors, but I do not take any idea of avian influenza lightly.

I have no financial interest in the poultry industry, but after 20+ years of living in an area with more chickens than people, one learns to pay attention.

Yes, I agree.
