Scary chicken

For the last couple of days the most used word in and around media is chicken. It is just because of the confirmation of bird flu in chickens from Maharashtra and few other parts of the country. Within just two days of this news outbreak, the poultry business is terribly hit. It already dropped by 30 - 40%. CNN-IBN has series of articles regarding bird flu on their website. The worse part is that it can affect human beings also, though not even a single case is confirmed in India. Well this will definitely keep chickens away from people for alteast the next 10 - 15 days. Indian government says that, they were well prepared for this situation. Let us see how much their preparation helps to bring this situation under control in the days to come. EU is debating on vaccinating the birds to prevent them from this deadly disease. Meanwhile,[*] chicken will be left out of my menu.
