Bird flu confirmed in 2 poultry flocks in north Alabama

MONTGOMERY — Alabama officials have confirmed bird flu in two poultry flocks, just a week after three commercial breeders had to kill their chickens across the state line in Tennessee.

The state veterinarian announced that chickens are under quarantine after testing positive for the disease at a commercial breeding operation in Pickens County near the Mississippi line.

Dr. Tony Frazier's statement says the disease also was found in a backyard flock in Madison County, near the Tennessee line.

devastating both for the Human Population and for the Growers. Two years ago it was the Turkey Growers who were hit in the Midwest. Knowing sloppy history of Containment,fill your freezers now,this will only get worse.
