Typical KSU student , unaware of the 1918 spanish flu origin was in Haskell County, Kansas in 1918. I live in ellis county and I am more aware of the bird flu then most students. who are supposed to get a superior education.... looks like KSU needs to be educated......

I'm sitting between Kansas and Arkansas poultry farms.
I guess Oklahoma has plenty of poultry farms too. There was an infomercial or whatever you'd call it the other day from the OK Poultry people talking about how they manage the amount of poultry droppings they spread on the land to prevent polluting the water. Sure made me feel better ... |

Oknut, someone was telling me today that one of the groceries down here in our area has 10lb bags of chicken for $2.00, I don't think that is a good sign. Usually chicken here is expensive.

I'm with you Penham.
I know it's a personal decision for each of us, but once I use up the chicken in my freezer, I might do without my favorite meat for awhile. That is SO cheap though. I have to go grocery shopping this weekend so I'll check out prices where I end up out of curiousity. Thanks for the heads up. |

Little Rock (AP) - Some poultry sellers in Arkansas are expressing concern about the H5N1 strain of bird flu, which has led to the deaths of millions of birds around the world and can kill humans under some circumstances.
The virus has not been found in the United States.Thousands of live birds are sold every week in Arkansas through live bird markets and farm stores. William Robinson, who recently attended the Centerton Livestock Auction, says that if the bird flu arrives in Arkansas, he'll get rid of all his birds.The Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission is monitoring the situation. It tested more than 20,000 birds for flu in March, up from about 7,000 tests in March 2005. |

For the past week market chains where I live have been advertising chicken legs, thighs at 29cents per pound, I thought that was odd, really cheap.
