    What they don’t tell you is that it is ridiculously cheap and easy for chicken farmers to replace lost chickens.

    The chicken/egg shortage from the bird flu was resolved in under 2 weeks, but they used that opportunity to keep prices high.

      They also don’t tell you that this kind of farming where all the birds are crammed together is a great way to increase the chances of it mutating into a human pandemic. And the Trump administration is busily cutting everything that could protect the human population should that happen. No vaccine research, no vaccines, no monitoring.
