Yes, it is.

The policy has been to kill every bird in the flock if even 1 of them gets the Avian flu.
When the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus made its first appearance at a U.S. poultry farm in February 2022, roughly 29,000 turkeys at an Indiana facility were sacrificed in an attempt to avert a larger outbreak.
It didn’t work. Three years later, highly pathogenic avian influenza has spread to all 50 states. The number of commercial birds that have died or been killed exceeds 166 million and the price of eggs is at an all-time high.

And yes, it's 166 million.

Are you aware of the concept of supply and demand?
