Avian (Bird) Flu Discovered In Delaware; Birds To Be Destroyed

Advertisements [?]

Delaware officials ordered the destruction of some 12,000 farm chickens on Friday after confirming that the flock was infected by avian influenza.

State agriculture secretary Michael Scuse said the flu strain is different from the one that has spread to the human population in Asia, and that there is no threat to human health.

Scuse wouldn't disclose the location of the infected chicken houses or identify the grower, saying only that it was an independent operation in Kent County.
