That explains Canada, but not Mexico. They're culling chickens in Mexico, but their egg prices never went up. There's something weird about that.

I get what you guys are saying about "chickens live in closer quarters in the USA," but I don't get how they got infected in the first place. I thought it was from migratory birds. Remember the story about "the man who died from bird blue had birds in his backyard?"
