Lincoln Park Zoo Chicago is joining zoos across North America moving birds inside amid the avian flu 2022 outbreak.
Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo, Brookfield Zoo and Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa, are among the zoos taking extra precautions.
"It is a deadly virus. Not only can it take the lives of birds, but it can spread very quickly," said Dave Bernier, with the Lincoln Park Zoo. Nearly 23 million chickens and turkeys have already been killed across the United States to limit the spread of the virus.During feeding time at All Grass Farms in Dundee, the chicken there roam free and eat an all-natural diet, which farmers believe gives them a strong immune system to help ward off the avian flu.
Economists said prices for eggs are up more than 50% since February -- just in time for Easter when they are in the greatest demand.
