France poultry news: If it's not bird flu killing chickens, it's a monster heat wave

 
Headline:  The Poultry Site, 6/25/2026

Emma Penrod reports:
The losses come as Western Europe is gripped by a deadly, record-setting heatwave that has killed dozens of people, closed schools, knocked out electricity and forced farmers to harvest grain at night, with France hitting 44.3 degrees Celsius (111.7 degrees Fahrenheit) on Tuesday and the extreme temperatures set to persist over the coming days. [emphasis added]
"In our two largest poultry-producing regions, we are seeing excess mortality due to the heat," the head of French poultry industry group ANVOL, Yann Nedelec, said, adding that this was happening on both indoor and outdoor farms.
