One outbreak occurred at an egg-laying farm roughly 60 miles from Des Moines, where a majority of the birds that must be executed will be killed, the outlet reported. The other outbreak was identified at a turkey farm some 65 miles north of Iowa’s capital, with at least 28,000 birds there requiring execution, AP continued.

Go for the bigger birds like pheasants quail, ducks, geese etc., there’s not a lot of meat on smaller birds. And ground sluicing little birds just for the hell of it is not a good thing and never will be.
