    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    Dough conditioners, brominated vegetable oil, propylparaben, BHA and BHT, synthetic food dyes, GMOs, Roxarsone, Ractopamine, the 72 active ingredients in herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides banned by the european union (but not the US, of course), Olestra, rBGH and rBST, oxycontin...I could...

    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    You cannot look at the US supply chain and say that with a straight face. I could give you 100 reasons why you should question what the govt considers “health” or “safety”. I work in healthcare and know (and see) more than the average bear. A true crisis doesn’t need misleading data and...

    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    Where is the evidence that proves it can devastate the industry? It shouldn’t be hard for them to prove using statistics. You don’t think it makes sense to test the birds before killing en masse? Wipe out tens of millions because of a few positive results?

    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    But who is doing that? Do you think that if it were important - if people (poor, rich, or middle) were the focus or the concern, that they'd be killing off millions of birds without testing them? Just assuming a 100% infection rate without proof? You can say that they're afraid that it will...

    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    I respect your opinion. But I want to challenge the direction of your energy. We pay an inordinate amount of taxes. Those taxes are used to fund farming. Over the years, farming has gone the way of obscenely unnatural all in the name of the almighty dollar. Animals are pumped full of hormones...

    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    Another example of “if it were so dangerous they wouldn’t have to inflate or mislead”. Look at the asterisk. So if one bird tests positive, they count ALL birds on the premises. One positive case, kill all the birds. Were 35M affected? Yes, because they were all killed. Seems like if they...

    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    But that’s the thing - there is no proof that this could wipe out the nation’s food supply. No statistical or scientific evidence that proves that - at least not that I’ve found. When a virus is truely a threat, deception is unnecessary. There’s no need to inflate the danger because the...

    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    That is more in line with what I've read on the non-sensationalistic sites - there is plenty that says that if a bird catches the H5N1 strain, that it's probable that it dies. It doesn't say that it's an automatic death sentence for all birds in the flock. The news, however, reports that...

    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    I heard - and I know that anecdotal evidence isn't necessarily a reflection of reality - that since if a bird tests positive they cull the entire flock, then there's the 100% mortality being reported. I'm finding the same kind of information as you - yes, birds can die if they get it, but...

    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    That is a really good idea - I'm working on a plan for a coop + run with roof - just because I've wanted one and need to pull the trigger and figure it out, but for 13 birds it's no small feat. Do you mind sharing a picture of what you did with the corrugated roofing? I have my netting held up...

    Official BYC Poll: What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

    If I tried to tarp their run, any wind would scare them senseless and any rain would cause the entire thing to collapse. My girls don't free range because I don't want to accept the risk. We have a hawk's nest on our property and my house cameras have caught fox and coyote at night; I've also...
