Is it just me or is that an awful lot of chickens?
If those chickens walked by you 50 abreast
it would take thousands of years for them to pass by surely. How in the hell are you going to innoculate that many birds?Just a thought.
Chinese bird flu, the numbers just made me think

With a line of chickens 50 wide, the line would be 280 million chickens long.
If a chicken walks at 1kph, and given that a chicken is 20cm long, providing the chickens are walking beak to tail, in 1 hour, 200 lines of chickens or 10000 individual chickens would walk past.
Therefor, it would take 28000 hours or 1166.6 days or 3.19 years for the line of chickens to walk past.

the lifespan of chickens. It seems that based on the articles I was
able to find, the lifespan of chickens is 5 to 10 years but can go as
long as 12-15 years.
