Chickens across the United States that were chicks at the time of arrival of Fukishima fallout are beginning to die. The younger the chick was when the radiation arrived the sooner the death. Now the chicks that were a bit older are dying.

Combine this with a genetic tweaking of the poultry stock this year which has ended up with birds failing to thrive and also a strain of Clostridium that causes gangrene and what you get are higher poultry prices and market scarcity, which is exactly what we are seeing.

If you are interested I can provide you with the research and an article I wrote on the topic.
