just in time for the prices to go up even higher for Turkey what a coincidence. Oh and poultry farmers are dont have an egg shortage, they have a bird shortage because they cant afford new birds due to the supermarkets not passing on the prices rises they forced on customers

B.S. ALERT!!!

How gruesome this scene will be!

Intensive animal farming is awful.

Sad. Happened here in the US just recently after Hurricane Ian.

It’s a full on state lie Just more globalist attacks on farmers

New trade deal with the EU for chicken incoming

Making the way for artificial chicken which was agreed on G20 summit 🤔🤨

Most poultry farms will now start killing and freezing there meat. Fish farmer get the fish cull and freeze then super markets sell it unfrozen as fresh or keep it fresh. Don't worry people The news likes to scare not to reinsurer people.
