In January, about 23 million birds were culled on American farms, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Of those, about 18.8 million were "layers" bred to produce eggs while just 2.2 million were "broilers" raised for meat.
"We're not seeing drastic reductions in the broiler flock compared to the laying flock," said John Cranfield, a professor and agricultural economist at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada.
Layers and broilers are different birds with different genetics. The lengths of their lives also differ, making egg production more exposed to the virus.
"It takes about a month and a half, maybe seven weeks to get a broiler chicken to its market weight," said John Cranfield, a professor and agricultural economist at the University of Guelph in Ontario. "Whereas an egg-laying hen is going to be about five months to get to the point of laying eggs and then it's probably going to be laying eggs for a year."
Tell me what exactly Trump had to do with killing nearly 20 million egg laying chickens in January?
