The tools the U.S. used to contain previous bird flu outbreaks just aren't working this time, according to some agricultural experts. Some egg farmers have called for vaccinations for poultry.

substitutes for chicken eggs could be used in baked goods, powdered eggs and such. other varieties of chicken or species of bird may have better immunity and similar qualities to chicken eggs such as quail, pheasant, dove, squab, ostrich, etc. vaccinations could cause the extinction of wildlife
That's not a solution when an entire food source is a staple in many people's diets & as an ingredient in a lot of foods.
You be vegan. That's fine. Heck, I sometimes enjoy plenty of vegan food, but to suddenly scale it up as a replacement for the full population is not feasible.
That is a smart idea, really! They’re so full of pesticides, and so unhealthy in those mass-body environments without sun and exercise. Can’t we just learn? Factory farming was a terrible greed-inspired social experiment.
Nature is filled with redundancy.
A concept so alien to the US culture they just voted for a lunatic to take a wrecking bar to all redundancy in the system.
There's a very, very serious problem, with having all your eggs in one basket.
Have any small backyard farmers been found to have been infected by the disease?
They make our seem like these giant mega farms are the best protected, but it seems to me like cramped closed conditions, unhealthy birds and huge flocks are the worst conditions.
I've noticed it's only the cheap white eggs and not the organic or free range chickens.
This article references the biggest egg producers. I'm assuming they have pretty low standards.
It's there any chance that is driving the spread of this disease?
It’s a good time for people to stop supporting an industry that causes so much harm to animals and humans. So many alternatives to eggs it is easy to avoid.
Chances are that a lot of those eggs will be supplied by Bachoco, which burned 49 kids to death (and disfigured 106 more) of the nursery Guardería ABC on 5 June 2009 and which has since been involved in trafficking fentanyl into the US. MAGA!
Wow, I thought I just saw an article the other day that the US was working on a vaccine and was thinking about using it. I didn't realize there was one already in use in China. Thanks for the article. The first part is confusing--it says the vaccine can cause it to spread? Did I read that right?
They do vaccinate them for some things but I guess not the bird flu. I ordered chickens and for 20 cents per bird they vaccinated for Marek’s disease. We are adding a few to our backyard flock for our family.
i think it makes them GMO and there's a big dumb community that won't buy GMO things even though oranges and bananas and literally everything we eat has been GMOed in order to be the organic version we don't want GMOed
Between the bird flu & the measles outbreak we can start calling Trump the “plague President”. With him came Covid. And here come two more potential health disasters looming for our country.

One more thing Trump can't fix.

Fuck America. Maybe you clowns will wake up because…
…you can’t afford cheap omelets?
You fucking clowns. Rot.

Trump's declining net approval numbers show a significant slice of those MAGA voters are peeling off.
and he said: in this economy!
They'll need to add medical care for chickens and, if you look at how workers are treated ...

Maybe bleach?

Americans are just worthlessly stupid and unskilled.
