Louisiana families are paying almost $6 for a dozen eggs these days. Is it cheaper to grow your own? And, is it legal to raise chickens in urbanized areas?
The Louisiana Department of Health reported Monday that the patient who was hospitalized with the first case of avian influenza, bird flu, in Louisiana and the United States passed away.
For only the second time in history, a human has tested positive for bird flu. This case was reported in Texas, where they issued a warning that their poultry farms and cattle farms were being affected. This particular strain of avian influenza virus is highly deadly to livestock, poultry, and wild birds.
Will the bird flu affect you in the form of higher prices for a Thanksgiving turkey? Some experts say it could but we know the real reason why it won't.
