I don't believe that's why they are targeting chickens. Chicken are consumed by many who want protein but avoid red meat. It's also a source that can be quickly replaced as it takes about 30 days to take a chick and ready for harvest. Although if you give chickens feed so they don't lay eggs in order to replenish the supply chain, then you really can impact the world. I think universities and labs are just testing everything against covid to collect the research dollars being thrown every which way.
