US authorities have turned to Europe for help with the country’s severe egg shortage. The shortfall is due to bird flu, which has plagued the United States for several years.
The Finnish Poultry Association says it has been contacted about exporting eggs to the US. The organisation’s executive director, Veera Lehtilä, told Yle on Saturday that exporting eggs does not seem to be possible at the moment because no market access negotiations have been held with US authorities. This can be a drawn-out process involving extensive inspections and studies.

As in, they will fine you and tell you that you must get rid of them and if you don’t they will take them from you.
Hahaha, no I get that! I was trying to ask what exactly about owning chickens is illegal. Is it a noise thing, smell? Risk of disease? Are ducks illegal?
Do they just hate chickens?
They use pretty much all of the above to justify it, like the other guy said, it’s NIMBY bullshit. Yes ducks are as well. And it’s come up to a vote like 4 times in the last decade but been shot down by conservatives every time.
That’s terrible… I’m so sorry. Hopefully people can find a workaround or something… I don’t know…
I suppose some city politician is a NIMBY arsehole who disliked a neighbour’s chickens making chicken noises.
