How to raise Backyard Chickens: Re: [CHICKENS-101] has anybody heard that 5 million chickens died

Do you have a source I could refer to, Sandie? What I saw was that it was only 25% of the chicken raisers who have losses. At 20,000 chickens per chicken house and 200 houses gone, and another 180 damaged that's a big loss.

Lower Alabama is also a big chicken raising area and I can see houses from our back yard. There are currently 4 and the people are in the progress of building more but I can't tell how many more. One of the farms on my road has about 10 houses.

Now I keep hearing different amounts. But Alabama lost their chicken industry.. So I'm thinking that the price of chickens and eggs are going to be up soon.

And I think a few others were lost in other states.
