Cal-Maine Foods, largest producer of eggs in US, finds bird flu in chickens at Texas plant

[DancesWithWife]

"The largest supplier of eggs in the United States halted production after chickens at a Texas plant tested positive for the highly contagious bird flu - the latest in a spike of cases across the nation."-https://www.yahoo.com/news/cal-maine-foods-largest-producer-132035566.html

 

This will no doubt create a spike in the price of eggs in the United States.  In Oregon & Washington State all eggs must be from a cage free supplier. This has already caused a spike in prices in our area.

I am wondering if they are scambling to get extra eggs in from other countries?

I didn't think that caged chooks can have bird flu, because they haven't learnt to fly, nor could they get out of their cages.
