But the ostrich’s have the cure ….

I don't believe anything the CfIA says, like saying ostriches are chickens so that's why everything has to get culled.

Who in BC has reported this, not a word in the news. Why are you spreading fear propaganda? If you cannot add a source do not post this crap! It appears your page knows absolutely nothing about COUNTRY LIFE IN BC OR ELSEWHERE!

Just put one-way arrows on the floor of the chicken coop, keep them 6ft apart from each other and stock up on toiletpaper for them. 😉

Source? I can't find anything to corroborate this story.

Perhaps if they had allowed the ostrich to be tested and discovered how they developed antibodies we could quit culling our food supplies. Yes I know ostrich are not chickens

This only made the news to confuse those interested in the ostrich farm, relax, has nothing to do with the ostriches

How convenient that carney has a pocket in this 🤔

The ostriches eggs can save your flock

Weird how it only affects birds we eat. Kinda like how no homeless people got convid.

How convenient. Now it's off to the ostrich farm, right?

Have you went chicken catching for 8 hours all night 36000 birds

My advice take your chickens and run!

Have none of you guys ever seen the hundreds of birds falling from the sky? Ya me nether

Brainwashing if you ask me

just like on people- that mask looks like its doing a lot of nothing on that rooster!

Is it as deadly as monkey pox?? 🐵

Quick kill all the food! Perhaps we should study the ostriches...

Ostriches not chicken and not reproduced for human consumption

The condom is too small for the CO?K

I don't know how you do it, but invest in egg futures RIGHT NOW. The price will be skyrocketing.

So is it the first or the 240th?

240th. So how many birds culled is that now? The stamping out policy is working so well, isn’t it? Maybe cramming millions of stressed birds, receiving no sunlight, into facilities, all within a few kilometres apart (talk about having all your eggs in one basket) is not the brightest idea. Maybe we should scrap the Quito system, allow regular folks to have more than 100 birds and supply their neighbourhoods with meat and eggs. Maybe we should raise more robust birds with better immune systems. Maybe we shouldn’t give birds sunlight, less crowded conditions, and give them a full 24 hours to lay an egg, instead of artificially giving them shorter days, trying to squeeze more eggs out of them. Maybe, without the quota system, instead of a few mega farms, egg producers would again dot the entire province.

Lol are they going to blaim the ostriches

You mean to tell us all, THE CULL isn’t working, maybe, just maybe we should try something just a bit more humanly and have maybe a slight hint of scientific evidence!!!
