But support is out there for the kids who spent time and money on raising their birds for the big day, which won't come.
Earlier this year, the CDFA put out a statement reading in part, "due to the continued spread of H5N1 bird flu in California, the state veterinarian has implemented a ban on all California poultry and dairy cattle exhibitions at fairs and shows immediately until further notice. This action is required to minimize the danger of exposing people and non-infected cows and birds to the disease."
"Because it's my first year and I was just kinda bummed that I couldn't bring him," said 9-year-old Wesley, talking about his turkey.
"We've got to do something. What are we going to do to help people know they need to support these kids? They raised birds, and you know the price of feed is definitely not cheap," said Hannah Meyer, a poultry leader.
"We've had enough donations to cover the costs of raising their birds and buying them but not the cost of the hours spent," she said.
"I'm a poultry farmer also, so I get it. It's tough, but the flu is the flu, and we can't really change that," Bielen said.
