🐓One has to ask: "How does that effect the butchered chicken meat from the hens laying those infected eggs??" 🤢 🐤🐥🐣

If so, why isn't there a shortage of chickens and have the prices gone up?
We don’t eat egg laying chickens those are different birds. It takes 6-8 weeks to raise a chicken to its slaughtering weight which is around 3 lbs. thus no time to catch the flu.
