I don't like turkey and chicken anyway.

Nearly 17 Million Dead Chickens And Turkeys And Counting – America’s Bird Flu Pandemic Reaches The “Catastrophic” 

I don't think this headline is accurate. In may of 2015 the united states had 8.5 billion broiler chickens. 17 million is a very small amount of that. Sounds like covid flue statistics.

USDA POULTRY PRODUCTION DATA

But assuming that panic strikes and the chicken and turkey industry start killing chickens and turkeys to eradicate this flu, what will happen to prices of whats left?

  1. It has more than doubled egg prices also. I do eat turkey and chicken more than I would prefer because beef has gotten so high and I don't eat pork.

    1. Beef has gotten high here also. I will eat ham and bacon, thats about it for pork. No turkey bacon for me.

  2. Is it really the "bird flu" or is this part of the plan to thin the herd via starvation. With the criminals now in power just about any heinous plot is conceivable.

    1. I didn't voice that thought, but I did in fact think about it. If all this really is a nefarious plot that's a good way to do it.

    2. Wouldn't be the first time the government lied about a disease, would it? Covid anybody?
