   Well make a liar out of me.. I was just checking online and most of   
   the egg laying chickens here are kept in small individual cages too.   
   There are some 'Prime' brands that talk about Free Range..   
      
   I think the fewer cases of bird flu is more due to the migratory   
   birds that carry it are either coming North from Mexico or South   
   and there's no point going a lot further North into Canada or,   
   and I think this is more likely, they are coming from Asia and,   
   again, probably keep further South for the warmer weather.   
   IOW They 'Flock' to the USA..   B)

   MP>I suspect that Canada is somehow behind this!  :D   
      
   That's probably our Chickens getting back at Trump...   B)
