Shame that's not how this virus works with it's concern of jumping from avians and mammals, including humans.
That is one concern, if it's also resulting in a lot of livestock being killed off that will now impact food prices of more than just eggs.
Yup. Its to late now but for a week or few chicken meat prices were down and given the timing im almost sure if was from flocks being culled.
Umm ... when chickens are killed because of an outbreak the carcasses are buried. It is illegal to butcher or sell any type of meat that's part of a disease outbreak, whether it's BSE in cattle or bird flu in poultry.
what happens is farms inside a certain area area that exactly is what happens but farms just outside the area that don't have to kill their flocks realize that area may increase. Basically that they are in a danger zone. So you can slaughter and get the meat price right away or just thin your heard to reduce the chance of spreadage. Im not really sure the details but this is generally what I have been lead to believe happens and the chicken prices we saw for a week or few (can't remember how long but it was at least two weeks) was 99 cent a pound breast which we have not seen for years around here. An interesting thing about it to is that it was not fraken chicken which also made me suspect its from egg layers. I know we had farms get nuked in the area.
I would absolutely make use of that with my freezer. And complain to my partner that we don't have a chest freezer in the place one should obviously go.
we have two so that we can clean and thaw one once a year and of course also to store more.
