His idea is eugenics but for chickens. Just let it spread it through all the birds and the ones that get infected will die and the ones that are immune will survive and breed and the chicken race will be stronger for it.

- amanaplanacanal 1y agoToo bad about the human race though, I guess.
- gruez 1y ago>eugenics but for chickens So... animal husbandry?
- BuyMyBitcoins 1y agoThe same for every species that has been domesticated. Corn, horses, dogs, even yeast. This even happens to species we don’t intend to practice “eugenics” on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vavilovian_mimicry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vavilovian_mimicry

- thomquaid 1y agoYes the idea is that birds that recover from bird flu will keep producing. You end up with more live birds than culling entire flocks. Some of the birds survive, because of their genetics.

- ndsipa_pomu 1y agoThat'd be great if the viruses weren't also using accelerated evolution to become far more adept at infecting targets. By allowing the virus to spread unchecked, the chickens become a brilliant breeding ground for the virus and we're more likely to just breed stronger viruses (quite likely to be less virulent to chickens so that they can spread further, but also far more likely to jump between species).
