Their Story of Why They Killed Poultry: More Than 52 Million Birds in the U.S. Are Dead Because of Avian Flu https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/more-than-52-million-birds-dead-because-of-avian-flu-in-us-180981215/
There was no Avian flu. Poultry farmers say Feds showed up on their farm and said they tested the birds, they tested positive for Avian flu and must be destroyed. The farmers were told they would be compensated for their losses by the government. They had no idea when or how the birds were tested (they weren't). The Feds had not approached them before telling them to kill their birds.
Farmers killed the birds as instructed. Farmers never compensated for losses and are going bankrupt as egg prices skyrocket.
