I have a friend in the poultry processing business. Was talking to them about the current avian flu outbreak. They are terrified. It's happening early in the year and has spread to wild birds meaning it cannot be contained. We are probably going to see millions of birds culled. His advice was buy a chest freezer and fill it with any poultry product you enjoy because it's going to be expensive or gone. Just a heads-up in case it does come to fruition.

Chicken gives me the chits.

There was a chicken shortage at the grocery store last month, and as soon as it rebounded a bit, I stocked up on thighs in my chest freezer, so I'm already there. I could always add more, though.

There's a shortage of effin' freezers around here.

Haha I call CS on that

Beef and pork high as heck.

Now a bird flu shows up at the same time...

There is something awful fishy about all of this.

This is probably fear mongering. Judging from my experiences with Tyson Corp products, no matter what the birds die of...and how long ago...they are going to be packaged and sold in some form anyway.

I suppose [bleep] radiated fish is next?

This the same chicken that said the sky was falling?

Good thing the Sandhills are back.

Indeed. They want us to eat bugs and artificial meats.

The Ukraine invasion is also causing major food shortages. Think we're in for a really bumpy ride this year.

First they raise hell about caged hens. Turn them out and expose them to wild birds carrying all kinds of disease.

Never realized Walmart sold so much food shipped in from Ukraine.....

Maybe the Chinese are returning the bio warfare favor we did to them with pork and poultry.

Just picked up another chest freezer last night. Menards was closing a model out. 15 cu ft, normally $599, marked down to $499, and they have their 11% rebate going on.

Bought as a replacement for one that is 15+ years old. Plan on transferring all of our pork to the new one and then filling the old one with fish this spring.

Interesting point, I hadn't thought of that as a potentially contributing factor.

dont worry ,they will soon be having a sale on Soylant Green , you can buy cheap

Avian flu has been hitting for years. Never noticed a chicken shortage before. Give the chickens masks and "vaccines" for goodness sakes... Fauci says they work.

I don't think meat birds were ever kept in cages by chicken meat producers. Crowded conditions, but not in cages.

We have 20 Freedom ranger chicks coming in May.
