but chicken meat is going to be real cheap. I've already seen half off! Yummy yum, yum.

instead of a factory farmer.

what's most relevant would be what the source of the infection is, although it definitely will spread MUCH more rapidly in that environment and have more dramatic impact (I am not supporting factory farming and agree local farmers should be supported). The local who takes care of their chickens could also have them infected by Bird flu depending on what the source is (ie migrating birds or something)

But there's no doubt that once infected, it spreads like wildfire among those crowded flocks.

During outbreaks, small-flock farmers are often told to keep their chickens enclosed and indoors, to protect them against infection by wild birds. Even if you only have a few happy hens, they can get sick if exposed.

recently. It is wild! In my wildlife rehabber groups many states have sent out notices for rehabbers to be on the lookout for wild birds with symptoms.

These hens were considered "spent" at that age and most were sold cheap for soup or whatever. A relatively few lucky ones were bought by people like me for $1 or $2 each. They were in terrible condition but with good care, these birds lived long, healthy lives and laid eggs throughout.

I buy day old, vaccinated chicks and they mail the chicks to my post office

These days the spent factory hens in these 'multi-million hen 'farms' are fed to the others,(probably how ALL the millions of hens got sick) used in animal/cattle feeds or stuffed live into giant shipping containers, flash frozen and shipped to whoever gets what 'meat' they can off their bones or makes animal feeds.

I am fortunate to get my eggs from Viola, Cally. Tuesday, and Roberta. Happy chickens! Thank goodness.

I have 12 very spoiled happy hens and their "husband" he's really happy
Wonderful eggs and so many that I sell about 4 doz a week to neighbors.
Farm fresh eggs are wonderful if you live in an area where you can buy them.

Can't hardly imagine 5 million chickens on one farm, wow!

That's animal cruelty. Horrible that animals have to go through that kind of existence.
