Death Toll Rises To Over 12 Million Chickens And Turkeys In 2nd Month Of America’s Horrific Bird Flu Pandemic
Authored by Michael Snyder via TheMostImportantNews.com,
Everyone needs to start paying attention to this crisis, because America’s rapidly growing bird flu pandemic is going to deeply affect all of us at the grocery store. This pandemic began on February 8th when a confirmed case of HPAI was confirmed in a domestic flock, and on March 9th I published an article that discussed the fact that nearly 2.8 million birds (mostly chickens and turkeys) had already died. If the pandemic had fizzled out after that first month, it wouldn’t have ultimately been a major deal. But instead, this pandemic has escalated dramatically here in the second month. If cases continue to spread like wildfire, we will soon be facing a nightmare of absolutely epic proportions.
On Friday, I was stunned to learn that an outbreak of bird flu at an egg-laying farm in Iowa is going to result in the culling of over 5 million chickens…
The confirmation of bird flu at another Iowa egg-laying farm will force the killing of more than 5 million chickens, state officials said Friday.
It’s the second confirmed case of avian influenza in Buena Vista County, about 160 miles (257 kilometers) northwest of Des Moines, but the latest outbreak is at an operation with 5.3 million chickens. The earlier case was at a farm with about 50,000 turkeys.
Just think about that.
Five millions chickens suddenly gone.
What do you think that is going to do to the price of eggs?
This pandemic originally erupted in states on the east coast, but now it is really raging in the middle of the nation.
For example, HPAI just spread to two more counties in Kansas…
State officials say a strain of bird flu has shown up in two more Kansas counties.
The Kansas Dept. of Agriculture announced Friday that samples show cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in two non-commercial backyard mixed-species flocks (poultry), one in Dickinson Co. and the other in rural Sedgwick Co.
And HPAI has just been confirmed at more facilities in South Dakota…
Officials in South Dakota said on Saturday that 85,000 birds in two state facilities were euthanized amid the state’s first avian flu outbreak since 2015.
The outbreaks took place on two farms in Charles Minx county, located in the southeastern part of the state, where the flu was first detected in turkeys, according to South Dakota Public Broadcasting (SDPB). Other birds in close contact with the turkeys were euthanized as well.
Make sure that you are sitting down for what I am going to share with you next.
After the first month, the death toll from this pandemic was sitting at approximately 2.8 million.
According to Fox Business, the total death toll here in the second month of the pandemic has now reached nearly 12.6 million…
The latest case confirmed by the state Department of Agriculture means nearly 12.6 million chicken and turkeys in at least eight states have been killed or will be destroyed soon.
The second month of this pandemic began on March 8th, and so that means that the death toll has risen by close to 10 million in less than two weeks.
Let that sink in for a moment.
If this pandemic continues to rise on such a trajectory, what is our food supply going to look like a few months down the road?
According to Zero Hedge, the price of wholesale eggs reached $1.60 on Wednesday…
Urner Barry data shows wholesale eggs jumped 10 cents to $1.60 a dozen Wednesday, the most significant daily gain since the early days of the virus pandemic.
If HPAI continues to spread in a manner that is completely out of control, the wholesale price of eggs is going to go far, far higher than that.
Of course chicken and turkey were both becoming more expensive as meat prices soared even before this pandemic came along.
Now we are potentially facing very real shortages of both chicken and turkey in the months ahead, and prices could easily go to levels that we have never been before.
And this comes at a time when global food supplies are getting tighter and tighter with each passing day. If you have any doubt about this, please check out this article.
The war in Ukraine has created an enormous “supply shock”, and bizarre global weather patterns are certainly not helping matters.
Global hunger was already rapidly rising even before 2022 started, and now we have a real nightmare on our hands.
As far as bird flu is concerned, we better hope that a strain doesn’t mutate that can spread easily among humans.
Because bird flu typically has an extremely high death rate in people. The following comes from the official CDC website…
More than 700 human infections with Asian HPAI H5N1 viruses have been reported to WHO from primarily 15 countries in Asia, Africa, the Pacific, Europe and the Near East since November 2003. Indonesia, Vietnam and Egypt have reported the highest number of human HPAI Asian H5N1 cases to date.
The first report of a human infection with Asian H5N1 in the Americas was in Canada on January 8, 2014 and occurred in a traveler recently returning from China. Although human infections with this virus are rare, approximately 60% of the cases have died.
Over the past two years, a pandemic with an extremely low death rate has caused unprecedented panic all over the globe.
Can you imagine what would happen if a pandemic with a 60 percent death rate were to suddenly break out?
Words like “catastrophic” and “apocalyptic” would not be sufficient to describe the horror that we would be facing.
But even if HPAI doesn’t jump to humans and cause a historic “pestilence”, the truth is that we are still going to have to deal with a crisis of enormous proportions in the months ahead.
Millions of chickens and turkeys have already died, and millions more will soon die in this country.
That means that there will be a lot less eggs than usual.
And that also means that there will be a lot less chicken meat and turkey meat than usual.
This is all happening in the context of the sort of major global food crisis that we have all been warned about, and that global food crisis looks like it is going to escalate dramatically in the months ahead.
If you have not been paying much attention up until now, you need to wake up.
This is the real deal.
Let us hope that this bird flu pandemic can be brought under control somehow, because if it isn’t we will soon be seeing headlines that once would have been unthinkable.

I’m thinking, this “pandemic” looks a lot like the covid “pandemic”. Bullshit. Oh but the millions of chickens killed is real enough. Remember when they were paying farmers to burn their crops a little while ago? Sabotage, this too I would say.
As you will recall, They ran the same ‘simulation’ in China not too long ago. Easier to control all the variables. There is no ‘Country’ affiliation for these souless pawns of 1 & 1/3. They have no nationality. And it has been that way from the beginning and will continue to its logical conclusion.
Perfectly fine with “the dead know nothing”…and then…kinda individual choice BEFORE that point
First thing I thought of, too, were the outbreaks in China in the couple of years before Covid started. Always suspected they were biowarfare attacks emanating from the land of the free. This likely is too.

“But though bird flu may not be bad for human health, it can have a major negative impact on the poultry industry. Currently, of the 17 confirmed cases in commercial and backyard flocks, eight of those cases have been at commercial farms with at least 15,000 birds, including at a commercial poultry facility in New Castle County, Delaware, with a flock of 1.2 million. Reuters reported that state officials said all the birds at that infected farm would be culled to prevent further spread of the disease, illustrating just how bad the impact of bird flu can be, especially to individual premise owners.
Still, in 2020, the latest year data is available from the USDA, America produced over 9.2 billion chickens, meaning the New Castle County incident alone won’t have a major impact on chicken availability, but it’s possible a domino effect of incidents could quickly add up.”
I think it could be the real deal, even if it is manufactured in a lab somewhere.
I’ll ask my biologist buddy.
Plum Island rockin’ & rollin’…Again?
Backyard chicken farmers are going to ensure we never run out of chicken stock.
I’ve been considering getting a couple of turkey hens from Larry because we absolutely love turkey eggs. And, we can always borrow a tom once they get a bit broody, I suppose.
This article convinced me to take a couple turkeys in lieu of rabbits or roosters this year.
They make turkey eggs?
Rabbit eggs I already knew about. What with them colorful Easter eggs and all.
They do! We had a turkey hen last year that surprised us with a nest full of eggs hidden in the brushpile. We should have moved her nest inside the fenced area, but we thought she was so charming laying her eggs out at the edge of the woods.
Charming until a fox or a coyote got her, that is.
The sky is always falling.
Strangely, Chic-fil-a never seems to run out of chickens. Every time I pass one the line is wrapped around the building several times.
It’s not chicken. ;0
It’s chicken-y. (I’ve only had it once – when I went out of my way to get it to smite the gays.)
“…to smite the gays.“
FINALLY! I get concerned about you sometimes.
Don’t get too excited. Every time someone places an order at Panera Bread, it cancels out one gay smiting purchase from Chick-fil-A.
It’s probably chicken like food product with enough chicken to call it cbicken.
If most of these birds are contained in enclosed farms, how does something like this spread? Maybe via the USDA inspectors? Intentionally?
ding ding ding….
The commercial (factory farming) method of farming is the most destructive method in terms of animal, waste and contamination. If you live outside of a city you best find a local small farmer and get friendly with them, you’ll be needing them shortly. Avoid the warehouse farmers… If you live in a city… oh well…
Picking up our order of free ranged and grass fed beef tonite… and I’m going to thank him for the tasty lot we had on the last delivery…
At some point that will become illegal. Paid snitches will see to the enforcement.
In the small towns and rural areas they will be found out rather quickly… and dealt with… count on it…
Everything is illegal at some point… but has never stopped everyone either, has it??
Right on Brian. My eggs from pastured chickens cost over $5 a dozen yet the idea of consuming eggs from factory farms is revolting. Those chickens are crammed together, stressed all their lives, and eat crappy “food, ” and then people consume that and wonder why so many of us are unhealthy. The chickens are not dying from the damn flu, they are dying because of the way they are treated. Anything extra in their lives that is somehow detrimental would kick off an epidemic that then is blamed on some pathogen. We live with hoaxes.
We raised the cornish giant meat birds and layers for eggs. The ONLY thing commercial given to the birds was layer pellet which is high in protein basically. Out of a hundred giants we would loss maybe three or four to growth issues, they can outgrow their organs.
ALL our birds were free ranged and could fly, even the brown heritage turkeys. I gave our neighbour a dozen eggs and a couple chickens. About a month later I asked if they’d eaten them and what he thought. His reply… Chicken was to gamey tasting and there was something wrong with the eggs yolks. they preferred the mush, black bone ‘chicken’ and the clear sloppy white ‘eggs’ from the store. City people from Slurry that moved into the area around our farm… they lasted a couple years and moved into town.
I have been writing and saying for decades that the Federal Government protects migratory birds because they spread diseases continent to continent; this was realized during the Spanish Flu about 1917. Every year Cow Birds shit in my water troughs, on my cows and in my pastures. All kinds of black birds try to get into my chicken pens and one once did which I killed with a judo chop; song birds sometimes do get in. I am fond of Aquaculture and wanted to make another pond but could not get the permit; I took it all the way to the Florida Secretary of Environmental whatever, Virginia Weatheral; she could not approve it because it would violate WDC policy so I said tell them Florida objects! Her Scientist agreed with me: WDC denies pond permits in wetland designated areas because ponds would contain animals that eat mosquito larvae but WDC wants mosquitos to spread diseases. WDC spreads and protects wolves to kill livestock and drive ranchers and Indians off the land; one of their Agents admitted it. It is a Felony to kill a Deer eating your fruit and vegetables without a license and it is impossible for Deplorables (even rich ones) to get that license now.
Can we call this the Famineflu or the Famdemic.
Coming on the heels of Fanning Famine Fears of crop failures from Fertilizer flu, railstrike fertilizer flu and winter wheat flu, and sanction flu, war shortages flu, flood flu swine flu, and inflation flu, ad nauseum.
Is there any distraction, any outrage, any crime, any perversion, corruption, scheme, ploy, calumny or scandal they will not drag out and throw upon the floor to distract us from their crimes?
These people are not human, I’m convinced of that.
Many of them are not human and or not fully human. Satanic hybrids and partly or fully demonically possessed, some have only embraced the stink so far. Father Martin used to talk about the “Perfectly Possessed”. They took the evil and the evil took them.
There is no limit to their perfidy. Just look at the laptop from Hell and realize how many hundred or thousand “top officials” saw the whole thing and LIED about it for a year and a half or more.
They WERE humans at one time but it ended when they chose to be in thrall to Satan for power or influence.
Amazingly, yacht marine fuel and private jet aviation fuel NEVER GETS THE FLU.
10 bucks says KFC will have PLENTY of chicken, go figure.
There is not enough garlic in the entire universe to stave off this oncoming Karmic Kollision.
Our favorite pet should all be chickens.
but don’t name them…
We name them BBQ, Rotisserie, Extra Crispy, etc even though ours are laying hens.
LOL… our kids did the same with the sheep and hogs…
Another purposeful release of a virus I’m sure.
When death can be sprayed by plane or back-pack sprayer…Via mosquitos…when ticks from texas turn up in Lyme Connecticut…When Detrick ‘shuts down’ mysteriously and then reopens..
Job 1:7
“And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
His time is short, so by extension…
Well I’ve already been convinced CWD was spread just like the vaxxxx, even before the plandemic.
All of them probably were from MRNA tech. Twirling disease, blue tongue…there’s more.
It’s annuda showa! Oy vey! This is clearly anti-semitism. People all over here contract for Tyson. It’s a living for the hard worker. I look forward to not buying grocery chickens. We got hamburger from the meat locker nearby and I feel like I have been cheated by grocery store lime. We look forward to getting this place going to where we have our own sustainable diversified hobbit hole and lots of grass fed beef. When I look back, all the lot riders seemed like hard cases.
Even lentil prices are shooting up. We’re going to be left with bugs and Soylent Green.
Don’t tax food and agricultural supplies; sir-tax the gold bricks.
The chickens are all fine until creatures in medical outfits comes and says they all need to be killed. Thus, this is how they die of “bird flu.”
Virus! Virus! Virus!!
Oh, FFS…
So how does ‘it’ get around? Last time I checked, chickens don’t fly. Since they don’t get out much, how is this stuff supposed to cross borders? (‘Migratory birds’ would cause a mass of ‘infections’ along the migration route, not isolated instances of mass ‘infection’, so I don’t buy that one.).
Perhaps, like many humans, the poor things are just being made sick by their increasingly poisonous environment and the constant stresses they are forced to exist with.
Regardless. If ‘pandemics’ are going to be cropping up every five minutes, we need to have a major rethink with regards to what it is we are clearly doing wrong.
If it’s just the flu (bird ), can’t I give horse de-wormer (aka ivermectin) to my birds as a prophylactic to protect them? Problem solved!
Time to start running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off.
$1.60 for a dozen eggs?? I was already paying $2.99/doz… that is, until about 6 weeks ago when my chickens started laying. No more store bought eggs. Doing a lot of pickling. mmmm mmmm mmm!
