So how does the avian flu thing work. Do they just go to the big poultry farms and test, then kill everything if a positive is found? Is there a risk to the little places like the Amish farms?
How is avian flu even transmitted, escaped chickens turning up in other coups? Is it like Mad Cow and they feed chickens to other chickens? Do we have some chickenf*cker to blame?
Thing is... eggs are still plentiful, there doesn't seem to be a shortage. Every store I've been in had ample supplies. The problem right now is the expense. The price will keep people from buying them, and there won't be any "extra" to hoard or freeze.
Me too, I'm just not buying them in the same quantity, and look for bargains where I just grabbed whatever looked ok before.I'm an egg person so I'll continue to buy them. Just like coffee - I'll sacrifice something else to have good coffee.
Yes if a positive test is found the USDA will kill every bird on the property ensuring proper disposal and they will go to neighboring farms to test their birds.So how does the avian flu thing work.

No they bag them up for transport and take them to a State incinerator.What is proper disposal? A giant bon fire?
Fake NewsIt started in a small chicken coop in Wu Han China by a scientist named General Tso. W need to mask up the chickens to flatten the curve..
Now you know why they breakfast sandwich was $12 this morning.Most of the eggs I consume come from McD's.
But "SCIENCE!"!Fake News
Or bury in a big pit onsite (according to my sibling who dealt with many such incidences when working for DoAg).No they bag them up for transport and take them to a State incinerator.
That's a bit of good news. Hope it extends north to us here too.Just got back from the store. I got an 18 pack of pasture raised eggs for $6, and a dozen Eggland Best cage-free for $4. Prices appear to have come down significantly over just last week.
And no, bots, it's not because of Joe Biden because price corrections are only happening in some states, not ones run by Democrats.
The time I was referring to happened in 2016 so they incinerated the bodies then.Or bury in a big pit onsite (according to my sibling who dealt with many such incidences when working for DoAg).
we sell our eggs for $4 a dz or 3 for $10 but the gasoline to get them is what causes the biggest issue for most people.That's a bit of good news. Hope it extends north to us here too.
