...because of 'avian flu'
states that have banned poultry competitions and exhibits include West Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, New York, Ohio and Minnesota, that i've seen reported so far... but I just saw south dakota, michigan the more i look, the more I find..... it appears no one has compiled a list or incident map yet (maybe it's too scary!)

funny, i just put out a batch of juvenile chickens out in our outdoor pen today. I have chicks in the barn & a batch of eggs in the incubator. I'm glad i'm 'small beans'... could you imagine having one of the big poultry houses and they find one infection and fill the whole place w/ that suffocating spray foam & kill thousands of them? yikes!
Chickens are an incredible food source and an incredible animal-- this is another HUGE blow to the economy.
