About 70 million chickens had been slaughtered as of Monday because producers have no food for them, said the poultry and pork processing association ABPA.

If they begin to starve, chickens start eating each other, so meat packers have culled flocks quickly, ABPA said.

Yikes.

Chickens are the closest living relatives to dinosaurs so this doesn't surprise me.

Got that far and stopped reading. If you have to point out something so obvious, I am not your intended audience.
