    I buy more of them when they die. Killing them because they have bird flu destroys their ability to adapt and combat that strain. Ones that don’t die aren’t completely immune from it, but they’re pretty close.

    I only have like 6 hens; I don’t need to take the same precautions that farms do.

        No? H5N1 is rarely transmissible to humans. The biggest fear is a mutation that allows human-to-human transmission.
