Well make a liar out of me.. I was just checking online and most of
the egg laying chickens here are kept in small individual cages too.
There are some 'Prime' brands that talk about Free Range..

I think the fewer cases of bird flu is more due to the migratory
birds that carry it are either coming North from Mexico or South
and there's no point going a lot further North into Canada or,
and I think this is more likely, they are coming from Asia and,
again, probably keep further South for the warmer weather.
IOW They 'Flock' to the USA..   B)
