Let’s Talk About Bird Flu

The chicken industry was making record profits from the supposed bird flu pandemic

The bird flu pandemic was real.
It disappeared mostly in spring, and will come back next autumn when there is less sunshine and temps drop in the night to almost freezing temps.

It comes and goes in my country the Netherlands) for many years now.

I know people who had a flock of BYC. Most of them dropped dead within a week bc of the contagious and deadly bird flu. Testing is obliged with suspicion of the bird flu. The rest of the flock was gassed. Every winter there are serious restrictions for poultry farmers to avoid spreading of HPAI.

Many commercial farmers had to give permission to the authorities to terminate their chickens and ducks. Their stables may not be filled for a certain period. They get paid by the government for commercial damage. Our egg prices went up too. But by far not as extreme as yours in the US.

If anyones sees a dead wild bird, it should be reported. The advice is: don’t touch it but give the location to the authorities to have it checked on bird flu.
Some months ago there were still dead affected wild birds (water fowl) in the north of my country where we have a lot of lakes.

The Netherlands exports a lot of bird meat and eggs. Mainly to other European countries and beyond too. Farmers who do not export their products can vaccinate their chickens now.
