We have a lot of backyard chicken farms in Vancouver.

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.

What the heck happened to American eggs?

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

I need a high resolution version so I can print some stickers.

$4 a dozen in Kentucky.

I am afraid to ask the price of the Vital Farms eggs.

[tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

(For readers, with the USD-CAD conversion they're closer to $5)

Suburbs don't really count.

[jake_farm@sopuli.xyz]

Community chickens? Like community gardens.

[sirquacktheduck@lemmy.world]

Even those Canadian eggs are relatively expensive to what I'm used to:

These are Euro prices.

Peacocks can chase off predators.

God i love having chickens

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

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.

[lauchs@lemmy.world]

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.

12.99 at my tourist town in CA

[loce@lemmy.world]

You should put maga stickers next to the price tag, just to remind the folks

Bird flu is still an issue
