SUPHANBURI, THAILAND - JANUARY 27: A chicken peers out from a cage at the Sanoh chicken farm January 27, 2007 in Suphanburi, Thailand. The family run Sanoh farm has around 5,000 chickens located in one of the main chicken farm areas two hours north of Bangkok. Although the farm has been completely free of Bird Flu, its owners say that they are struggling to make ends meet with lower prices on eggs and increased prices on chicken feed. New outbreaks of bird flu are causing concern in the Asian region with new cases surfacing in Thailand, China and Vietnam.
