summary

My grandmother's family keeps a group of chickens in the countryside. Normally, they don't have much contact with the outside world. However, some of them seem to have some problems recently. I'm very afraid that they have avian flu, but I'm not sure. They haven't died yet. That's to say, some of them are very lifeless and keep squatting all the time. They don't eat much or lay eggs when they are feeding. Let's go on like this, I'm afraid that I'm going to die, and I'm even more afraid that I've got bird flu. If that's the case, other chickens will not be able to survive, and I'm even more worried that it will infect people. What are the symptoms of bird flu? Let's talk about it.
