USDA reports a poultry flock in Seminole county, Florida testing positive.
So sad!

There's a ton of cases in Snohomish County, and King county Wa right now. Thats only 2 hours from me, though there haven't been any cases in my county which is a relief. Other than one a couple months ago.

That’s one of the reasons I’m not whining about the heat wave & dry spell upstate in rural NY. Let’s clear out AI as much as possible. I think a cool, wet summer would have made things worse.

I see it has been found in wild birds in California now, too.
It has been found in almost every state now.

edit- because the heat has baked my brain and I cannot compose a sentence.

Definitely not looking forward to the return migration this year...

I hope they don’t eliminate heritage breeds if they are mixing breeds.

Avian influenza found in a non-commercial flock in California, reported by APHIS. Darn!

Yes, not going away is it. I see there is also wild birds still dying in Florida recently too. You'd think by now that far south we'd not see this. And I just saw on local news North Carolina has just been declared "free of AI" and can now begin exports anywhere.
