I had chicks coming next week. Looks like 4 of the 6 breeds I selected were impacted so I’ll probably just push my order out a year.

On Ag news this morning they said the Avian flu is in TX & IA. I just listened to the hatchery video...It is in many states, nearly half of USA & on all continents worldwide? This is very sad indeed.

I’ve been keeping track at: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nwhc/s...ogenic-avian-influenza-north-america-20212022

There’s nothing near me, but there is nothing near the Texas case either.

Take the list of reported cases with a grain of salt. Because that's just what it is - a list of reported cases, cases that somebody saw, identified and reported. There could be wild birds dying near you but nobody knows about it because they are in the woods somewhere out of sight, or because a predator ate them before someone found them, etc. etc. There's no way to really know where exactly the virus is right now, except for the very obvious cases where somebody happened to find a dead wild bird and report it.

Does anyone have a list of the breeds affected at McMurray?
