The highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) is affecting millions of wild and domesticated bird populations in North America, Europe, and Asia. When the virus is detected in farm flocks, the farms are deemed a biosecurity hazard and, often, the birds are killed. Depending on the country, the means of ending the birds' lives are by live burial, CO2 poisoning, ventilation shutdown, or through the use of firefighting foam which asphyxiates the birds. Small flocks, backyard flocks, and animal sanctuaries are also affected. If the virus is detected at these farms, all the birds must be killed as well. A small flock farmer from Southern Ontario expressed that they would follow regulations and be without birds for the required time. In the control zones around Southern Ontario, many farms have biosecurity signs, prohibiting pedestrian and vehicular traffic from entering the properties. As of April 27, 2022, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency 717,000 birds have been affected in Canada. Canada, 2022. Jo-Anne McArthur / We Animals Media

A small, curious backyard flock of laying hens. The farmer stated that if H5N1 were to reach his flock, he would follow regulations and kill them, and then simply be without hens for a while, replacing them when it was safe to do so.

A chicken raised for meat perches on top of a feeding line inside a rearing shed on an industrial broiler chicken farm. Thirty-three thousand individuals live in this tightly packed shed, and at any given time, 120,000 chickens live on this farm.
A child plays outside a barn that holds 1,500 chickens who are being raised for meat on a small-scale farm.
Fifteen-day-old chicks raised for meat, called broiler chickens, eat from a feed dispenser on a small-scale farm. The farm will send the chickens to slaughter when they reach 40 to 50 days of age.
A dead hen that has been removed from a battery cage lies on the floor of an intensive egg-production farm. Hen deaths from heat exhaustion are a regular occurrence during the summer months when temperatures typically soar beyond 40-42°C.
A hen living inside a battery cage on an intensive egg-production farm drinks from a water dispenser inside the cage she shares with several other hens. She must use her beak to apply pressure to the dispenser to make the water flow.
Five to six egg-laying hens with pale and drooping combs, dirty feathers and patches of bare skin are kept in small battery cages of about three by two feet on an intensive egg-production farm even as the outside temperatures reach 42°C (107°F).
