The largest egg producer in the United States announced it is halting production at its Texas plant and culling the flock of nearly two million chickens.
Cal-Maine Foods announced it would halt production at its Parmer County, Texas facility after it detected bird flu at the plant.
The company destroyed 1.6 million egg-laying hens and 337,000 pullets (female chickens not yet mature enough to lay eggs) at the plant.
