Gan45,
Less chooks = higher price cannot be true when the reason for the reduction of supply is birdflu. Consumers will fear getting the birdflu and stop buying poultry meat! Didn't you remember the news article on the Thai Prime eating chicken on TV to try to install confidence in the people during the Thai birdflu epidemic? During a birdflu epidemic, supply of chooks will be down and no consumers will buy poultry = significantly reduced market for poultry health products!
