(poopoorama)It’s still more than six months away, but amid an avian flu outbreak in the U.S. that’s doing some serious damage to poultry farms, some people are already having to think long and hard about Thanksgiving. Supplies of whole turkeys might not be able to keep up as well as usual with the holiday demand. The H5N2 strain has spread to 14 states, spreading to the farms of poultry and egg producers in the largest outbreak this country has seen yet: More than 21 million birds have been felled, including 3.3 million turkeys in the nation’s top turkey-producing state, Minnesota, reports Reuters. Farmers and trade groups say this could add up to a shortage when it’s time to gather around the table in the fall.
