I'm almost afraid to ask...where did you hear this, and are there any other outbreaks in the US or was it just at the quarantine facility?

It's the birds that Harmony Hill was selling presale and had imported from the UK. They were still in quarentine there.

Does anyone have confirmation of this? What a horrible thing to happen!! I had heard there was a case of AI in Cheshire, but how on earth would infected chicks get out of England past their export exams? Sheesh...I hope it isn't so. What a mess.

It is horrible but another reason "not to count your chicks before they're hatched"

Sorry for the farm that was supposed to get them but YEAH for quarantine catching it!!!
