[chicknmania]

This is getting reallly scary, because it's just not slowing down like they thought it would! Only bright spot is that demand for our eggs is going up.

Keeping fingers crossed for you.

Praying for all...
The way in which they are reporting about this virus, well... it is all chipping away at the meaning of 'security'...

Hope and pray it will stay away from you and every farm!

It's not just turkeys. It's chickens and "exotic" birds as well, including peacocks etc.

It doesn't help that some of the people who's birds got the flu thought that they could shred them up and throw them into the fields, cause then the vultures, and eagles will get them and they transferred the disease to domestic birds etc.

The new is not keeping anyone up to date and telling people what to do if their birds get sick. That may be a big part of the problem. I am only getting updates on the bird flu now and then on Face Book.

I can't believe that someone would actually do that???? Seriously, where is common sense?

Not so common.
