Commercial egg farm that houses 1 million chickens has been infected with bird flu
Fox News
A commercial egg farm in Iowa that houses 1.1 million chickens has been infected with the bird flu. This is the 15th commercial farm to be infected in Iowa this year.
Iowa has had 15 commercial farms infected this year, including turkeys, egg-laying hens and other chickens. In addition, five backyard flocks have been infected. Because the virus is highly contagious, all birds on an infected farm are killed and disposed of to avoid the spread of the disease.
Iowa has been hardest hit with bird losses at more than 13.3 million this year before the latest farm was found infected.
