"State and federal agriculture officials have confirmed deadly bird flu in a flock of commercial layer chickens in southwest Iowa’s Taylor County, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship announced Friday. It’s the third outbreak of highly pathogenic avian flu in the state this year.
A spokesperson for the Iowa Department of Agriculture said there were nearly 920,000 layer chickens in the Taylor County flock.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has issued a disaster proclamation to use state resources to track, monitor, detect and contain the spread of the deadly virus. The proclamation also helps dispose of the dead birds."
