Price of corn ==> chickens
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-07-27/chicken-prices-may-double-from-next-week/4160324
Haven't seen the prices move yet, but any excuse will do
"Australian consumers are about to pay a lot more for chicken, with at least one retailer saying prices will double from next week.
Chicken meat producers are bumping up their prices as the cost of feed grain soars because of drought in the United States."
And why you should have your own chooks

"Which is why this ScienceNow report from Australia caught my eye:
Vaccines aren't supposed to cause disease. But that appears to be what's happening on Australian farms. Scientists have found that two virus strains used to vaccinate chickens there may have recombined to form a virus that is sickening and killing the animals.
