Bird flu wipes out chickens at 2nd biggest egg producer in United States

 

Headline: University of Minnesota CIDRAP, 1/29/2025

Add 2.8 depopulated birds to the necrology

Rose Acre Farms, the nation's second largest egg producer, said yesterday that tests have confirmed avian flu at its facility in Seymour, Indiana, which could further stretch the supply of eggs as commercial farms in several states continue to battle the spread of the H5N1 virus.

Irony alert.  This bible verse is found at the CAFO's website.
