Oh great news!.....

Talk about the land of surprises....!

No poultry for me for a while....and who would believe that farmers would not attempt to move their product to markets?

You know they will attempt to move it.

You can bet that there is lots of tainted poultry that already has been consumed or about to be.

Just my way of thinking since this is just now hitting the news.

That is a bit of a knee jerk reaction, come on take a risk, don't be a chicken 

This is AVIAN cholera....

I was wondering about that. 

I find it very hard to believe that the farmers will not try to sell off the dead birds, there is no way they will accept the loss of money. I get the feeling there will be a glut of poultry on the market while they kill the ones that havent dropped yet to make fast sales before they can really be stopped from doing so through back channels

You can only be infected if they bite you.

We had a handful of chickens, some ducks, quail and guineas at our place. Just enough fowl to keep us in eggs. The daughter was on school break and a kind uncle gave her a chick, which she put put it in the quail pen. Within a 2-week span we lost almost all. Just one chicken and two ducks survived. Come to find out this baby chick came from a flock which had died from Cholera. The uncle forgot to mention this fact. My fault as I should have said no when I saw the chick.

 

The gov't gave us free vaccine but said it was really to late to help. They recommend giving this vaccine every year before the rainy season starts. In this part of P-lok province many farmers have lost their entire flock. Now, I no longer have eggs and bacon every morning. Another lesson learned...
