Chicken math defies logic

Bought another Styrofoam jobber today. Gonna set 164 for Easter

I'm not making it easy on them. Got my incubators cranked wide open

You can't screen every critter. And I agree 100% the feds would prefer that backyard flocks disappeared

:)

How many are epidemiological experts. How many are infectious disease experts?

In my opinion Tinakevin,No you should not worry about your birds from cackle. AI coverage is about like CNN and Trump. The news companies fear monger and sensationalize the news. Its how they maintain their ratings. Instead of reporting the news they let their personal views and opinions get...

If By "just happened" You mean a recent NEW event, I concur. And like I stated earlier, there are NEW strains emerging in Asia.The article said as much. Once they confirm a case,it's already to late to stop. I'd love to hear what an epidemoionologis had to say about how fast the stuff can...

Speckledhen, Winston Churchill said,"Even paranoids have enemies." And I agree with every word!!

I hope my comments haven't put anyone off. I dearly love to argue even when I'm wrong.lol

I do get the the flu shot and pneumonia shot each year on docs orders. Lungs are scarred from previous bouts of pneumonia. The vaccines are a throw of the dice. Sometimes they work,most times they don't. (In my case) Just got over pneumonia AGAIN. I don't really medicate my birds. Ive wormed...

And with the way influenza mutates and spreads I just don't believe we have the ability to stop it.

Have to admit,I hope nothing EVER comes of any if it. In any case blind panic won't accomplish anything. Another thing to add to the mix, with the way the government (U.S.) reacts,typically a day late and a dollar short. Anything they do will be to appease a panicked public. It will be much to...

Your right. :)

Look up a list of new diseases that have been spread by our new fangled transportation. It will surprise you.

According to the egg heads :) the dinosaurs were exposed to influenza. Its been around in one form (strain) or another practically forever. I'm not willing to let ANYONE kill my birds in a knee jerk response. Before anyone advocates killing flocks,stop and ask yourself HOW THEY CAUGHT IT. It...

I agree 100%. When the feds destroy cattle,the farmers are reimbursed. The poultry industry is left to absorb their losses. No fed help. And even if there was,we wouldn't get any. I spent 3000$ on feed for my chickens and turkeys last year according to tractor supply :) no telling how much I...

There is already a "voluntary" registration that is "encouraged" of back yard flocks. Not my bag of tea. I'm keeping my birds.

And why your at it eliminate air and travel by the sea. It's as ridiculous as advocating elimination of back yard flocks or industry birds.

The ONLY way to eliminate the flu would be to eliminate ASIA where flu strains originate.
