There isn't a massive bovine flu killing huge swathes of flocks...

Lets be clear. Its still bird flu. Not bovine flu. Regardless of whether cattle are getting it.
If a person gets swine flu it doesnt suddenly become human flu.
Things have names and this distinction matters.

That's expensive. I live out in the boonies where things cost more and my local store is $4 a dozen.

And if you are an independent egg vendor you have to submit a 1099 form with your taxes. Coincidence?

Sure but the point is that there isn't a disease sweeping through cattle herds killing most of them etc.
Which is happening to flocks of birds, including poultry.

I'm not talking about the suburbs. I live by Commercial drive, I have neighbours with backyard chickens.

My primary plan is to hatch extra and expect some losses. Wildlife needs to eat, too, and I can’t fault it for doing so, even if it’s inconvenient for me.
However I’ll also employ roosters, which are annoying but do great protecting the flock. If you can’t/won’t have roosters for whatever reason, a couple geese will help as well, or you can add them to the roostered flock for extra protection, I believe.
Personally, the only way I’d ever shoot something going after my flock would be if it’s a threat to the enclosed run/coop where they stay at night. Or if they were habitual about raiding my flock.
But chickens should be in a coop at night so as long as you have one critters can’t get into, you probably won’t have too many losses.
