You may have noticed a bit of an uptick in the price of turkey and chicken this time of year. While inflation is playing a role, the ongoing avian flu is also having an impact.

Officials with Penn State Extension say poultry farm owners should maintain a line of separation around your flock, prevent your flock from wild birds, and avoid areas where wild birds may congregate.
