Kind of off topic, but instead of culling flocks infected with the flu, are there any farmers just seeing which chickens survive and then letting them breed?

I spoke with a chicken farmer last week.

The government comes in and takes over. You don’t get to decide, they kill all your chickens and cut you a check.

My guess is that that would increase the risk of a pandemic in humans.

I suspect most small/backyard flocks will be taking this approach, if only because of lack of testing.
