Yeah, kind of freaked me out, my wife said it was a sign not to kill them, but whites are like cornish cross, you let them get too big they have serious health issues

Seems to be spreading through Canada

Avian flu leaves 7,500 turkeys dead, 8 farms under quarantine

TORONTO -- Eight poultry farms in southwestern Ontario have been placed under quarantine as agricultural authorities scramble to contain an outbreak of a bird flu virus found on a turkey farm near Woodstock.

The virus, of the H5 subtype, has been found on one farm in an area densely populated with poultry operations. The other farms have been quarantined because of their proximity to the affected farm, officials said Tuesday.

"The quarantines that have been put in place are intended to be proactive measures to assure containment and minimization of the potential for spread of the disease," said Paul Mayers, vice-president for policy and programs for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

holy crap, almost a million birds now

A deadly strain of bird flu has now killed 872,000 turkeys at 13 farms in Minnesota. Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed 4 new cases of the virus in Cottonwood, Lyon, Watonwan and Stearns counties.

The 4 farms most recently hit by H5N2 avian influenza will lose 189,000 turkeys. Turkeys not killed by the virus must be euthanized to prevent the spread of the disease.

The risk to the public is very low and there is no food safety concern, health officials said.
