My guess is that that would increase the risk of a pandemic in humans.

I suspect most small/backyard flocks will be taking this approach, if only because of lack of testing.
I spoke with a chicken farmer last week.
The government comes in and takes over. You don’t get to decide, they kill all your chickens and cut you a check.
