Christmas dinner costs £5 more amid soaring prices and pigs blankets almost double in price
Sales reportedly doubled in October, but this has, with some farmers admitting they are struggling to sell birds.
Paul White, a turkey farmer near Colne in Lancashire, said coverage of the "shortage" has "scared" the public and impacted his business dearly. Over 1.6 million birds were culled as of November 20 amid an outbreak that has seen available free range bird numbers halve to 600,000. Total UK turkey production for Christmas was around 8.5 to 9 million birds, but around a million have so far been culled or died from bird flu.
