Not terribly off topic, but I've been wondering if cage free or free range has had an affect on the spread of bird flu. Our state banned cages long ago, but we still seem hit hard.

We have a local pultry ranch and last I heard they were hit pretty hard, but I think they are free range. I've also had a neighbor with a couple chickens in her backyard have to cull one. Oh, and one report of a cat dying. (It's really bad for pets)
