Half the free range population have been culled due to Avian flu. Expect to see fighting in your local supermarket over turkeys!

Have a nut roast instead.
Turkey is overated anyway.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

I know that Norfolk girls prefer guys from outside the county (because - well y'know) so I'm wondering if this story has been confused with Birds being scarce in Norfolk.

Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

Whilst the practicalities of trying to deal with avian flu in wild birds is obvious, there seems to be a blind spot with what is known as 'game' birds.

"It is currently unclear whether these pheasants caught the disease from wild birds or whether the pheasants were released already infected.

"If the latter then this is an unacceptable risk to our wild bird populations. Defra must provide clarity on what testing has taken place and when.”


A comment from the RSPB, made after "Unconfirmed reports suggest that hundreds of the birds may have died in Norfolk, where a sample of six pheasants tested by the APHA all came back positive." should be of concern.

Pheasants are reared in much the same close conditions as chickens/turkeys. They are brought in from outside the UK to be reared, with it seems no checks for avian flu before they (millions) are released into the wild.

Seems we are back into the irresponsible acts of sending patients back into care homes with no COVID checks made.

Personally, I havent had turkey for years. Not a big fan. Usually have roast pork.

I've got a couple of chickens, I received a letter from the council a while back that if you have any pet chickens that they have to be in a pen/house. According to the egg lady from work Suffolk and Norfolk have been hit hard and that's where most of the poultry farms are.

Explains why on Catch's pub thread he mentions chicken prices going through the roof.
