The mystery of chicken breeze.
With the current outbreak, it's very possible that we'll never figure out exactly how it happened.
And if we can't figure out how it happened, how are we going to prevent the next one?
It does happen, and sometimes it kills people.
But it's also very, very unlikely.
This episode of Planet Money was produced by me, Emma Peasley, with help from James Sneed.
It was edited by Marion McCune.
It was fact-checked by Sierra Juarez.
Alex Goldmark is our executive producer.
I'm Emma Peasley.
This is Planet Money from NPR. All right, Sam, you posted a thing in Slack. Do you just want to, like, read that message to start?
And $5 meaning $5 for a dozen farm fresh eggs in this egg-conomy.
Now, I mean, I'll just say this caught fire in the Planet Money slack. We just saw it as a bat signal for us. We're like, we can help. Sure. Sam clearly wanted our help, or at least that is what I'm hearing. Because look, we've got a scarce commodity with a dramatically low price ceiling in need of an optimized system of fair distribution.
I mean, what is Planet Money here for if not to get overly involved in this very situation?
The answer, apparently, Sam is the hookup himself. At work, Sam helps write computer programs that help NPR get to your ears, dear listener. But at home, apparently, Sam has chickens. Backyard chickens.
Oh, really? Yeah, let's check on Sam's chickens here.
Oh, wow, look at that. You've got little steps for them. Yeah. They're in a whole covered thing. Yeah, that's their run. It's so loud. Yes. Wow. Okay, I'm counting one, two, three, four, five.
Yeah, Sam loves his chickens so much. He'll never eat them. They all have names. The one named Cookie knows her name and sticks out her little wing to get scritches like a puppy from Sam.
Well, I mean, Sam, you know, Planet Money shows up, we are going to suggest an auction first and foremost. But I think your initial condition is you don't want to do that.
Lottery, Sam says. You seem not interested in a lottery.
