I doubt it. I was wondering why the bird flu was only impacting egg operations and not meat chickens. After some research I came to the conclusion meat chickens aren’t around long enough to come into contact with the virus.
Meat chickens reach market weight in five to six weeks. Laying hens take about 18 weeks before they start producing eggs and then produce for about one year.
KFC is most likely removing these items due to lack of demand or poor profitability.
I beg to differ...Its been stated that there is a chicken shortage here in SA...

Commercial chicken production requires large fans to run constantly to ensure the chickens have a supply of fresh air. If the fans stop for too long the chickens suffocate.
As you have reported several times your country has a major issue with unreliable electric power. That isn’t an issue here in the United States. I sincerely feel for your country, we can’t begin to imagine the hardships you and your fellow citizens experience.
Right now there are more than enough meat chickens in the U.S. pipeline. There are so many, in fact, the meat chicken industry has surplus eggs. A poultry industry trade organization is asking the FDA to approve these eggs for use in the production of pre-cooked prepared foods to alleviate the price of table eggs.

The price of chicken is also coming down here in the U.S. which, coupled with the news about excess hatching eggs, suggests there is more than enough chicken meat to satisfy market demand.

I just bought chicken breast - boneless, skinless - for $1.47 a pound on sale at grocery yesterday.
