Disturbing trend in the chart here. Affected farms have gone from commercial properties to almost exclusively small backyard flocks. I'd bet the poster from one of my previous comments is Crow Wing Site 01.

As for locking the discussion, without having delved into the comments there's no way for me to say if there was a legitimate reason for the mod team to put the kibosh on further replies. It could have been a poo slinging festival. The people that think this is a hoax or an elaborate ploy by the...

Birds are penned up. They're so angry about it. The run is big, they have plenty room and stuff to play with, but to them it's torment because they know how cool grass and dirt is. Frankly, I live in a wetland, there's so much water around my property (but not within the fenceline) and so many...

This is a colossally divisive subject. Humans the world over are experiencing "pathological virus fatigue", and after three years of covid19, people are ready to go full tin foil teepee. It's absolute chaos, the people predisposed to conspiracy theories are so ready to tell everyone what they...

My last post was indeed from a different poster. I belong to a few other Minnesota chicken owners groups, this was posted there. I am expecting to see the details on the Minnesota DNR page in the next few days. I'm curious what county. When it was posted, it exploded with thousands of comments...

Another Minnesota backyard flock is lost. Posted today. "I have been hesitant to post this, but here it goes. Friday morning I found one of my geese dead. By noon I found my big tom turkey dead and my big red rooster. Saturday morning I had more dead birds. I called the bird flu hot line. They...

This is great information. Thanks. I really appreciate it. I love the science of why. I would never stand to assume the most logical answer is always correct and this kind of documentation is my jam. I don't keep turkeys, I keep chickens, but I feel like it is in my best interest to have some...

I know the aisle in Hy Vee where you can buy tin foil. There's some cool DIY videos on youtube you can watch on how to craft your own hat. Just so you know, this IS directed at you, this time.

You seem to have your eyes on this and you know what's up. In Minnesota, so far only a few chicken farms have been affected. The egg producer that supplied WalMart in Minnesota destroyed 216,000 birds, and a meat producer destroyed 42,000 birds due to HPAI. These appear to be the only large...

It is utterly exhausting trying to reach these people. Sometimes I feel like I am in a twilight zone. I am not sure if it's possible. You cannot reason someone out of what they didn't reason themselves into to begin with. Lost causes.

Cool story bro. In the mean time, this thread isn't about husbandry practices, it's about HPAI. It's a problem in the here and now. If every single farm in the country went full crunchy granola hippie and went free range at this very second, it would not solve HPAI.

If you assume this was directed at you, then you should maybe reflect on why you think that.

Nearly 3 million birds in my state have been put down as of today. Approximately 15 backyard flocks containing less than 100 birds have been affected. The vast majority have been commercial turkey farms, and almost every incidence has been traced to a mallard duck. A half hour south of me, an...
