Watch: talkRADIO host suggests chickens wear masks to combat bird flu

"The geniuses who run chickens have put a lockdown on chickens. Put a mask on the chicken. The chicken can go out. What's the problem?"

A talkRADIO presenter has come up with a novel idea to curb the spread of bird flu.

As of this week, free-range eggs will no longer be available on UK supermarket shelves as the “largest-ever outbreak” of bird flu kept hens inside for months.

UK-wide measures to tackle the outbreak of avian flu were introduced in late November 2021, with bird keepers legally required to house poultry indoors, such as in large barns for commercial flocks.

Farmers who have to house their birds to protect human and animal health under Government rules are allowed to keep the free-range status for eggs for 16 weeks, a grace period which expired on Monday.

Responding to the news on his talkRADIO show, Mike Graham suggested the birds could wear masks in order to end the strict ‘lockdown’.

Watch the (tongue-in-cheek) clip below:

Free-range eggs will disappear from supermarkets today as chickens have been in bird flu "lockdown" since November.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
