    Never considered this in all honesty.

    Does a lower egg demand really lower the chance of a deadly pandemic?

    The way i understand it famers will continue try to maximize their chicken populations because capitalism. Especially in time of scarcity everyone dreams of being the biggest supplier.

    I reason there would be a technical solution in a full on chicken genocide. They can’t spread disease if they are already dead. This would result in no eggs for anyone. But animal welfare advocates may want a word with you.

    But even from an animal welfare pov, the way chickens are housed is completely inhumane and the end of this industry would be a net positive and spearhead the availability of much more ethically labproduced chicken.

    Nuanced genocide??

    This is a very interesting (though messed up) line of thinking. Can you elaborate what you ment specifically?
