If you enjoy watching the poultry judging at your state fair, you may be
out of luck this year. At least one state (Michigan) has cancelled the
judging of poultry and water fowl due to concerns about the spread of
Avian Influenza (AKA bird flu). To read more about this disease and
where cases have been confirmed, see this page from the U.S. Department
of Agriculture:

And, if you really need to see some poultry, perhaps you can find an old Foghorn Leghorn cartoon on TV or online.
