A poultry pandemic.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chicken Tyranny<\/h2>\n<p>In the United Kingdom, they\u2019ve already implemented a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/new-measures-to-help-protect-poultry-industry-from-bird-flu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bird registry<\/a>. Poultry papers, please. <\/p>\n<p>This new rule requires anyone with 50 chickens or more to register their birds.
