bird flu

After over two months of lockdowns, Iowa birds are finally able to get out to live bird exhibits and gatherings.

It seems that every time a disease hits the media, people always share their opinions on how relevant the disease is.

That's what the Iowa Department of Natural Resources is telling us. At least stop feeding birds until the end of May. Here's why.

A county in Iowa facing the most loss from the 2022 outbreak of bird flu is now facing job losses.

The bird flu has prices soaring on everything to do with chickens.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza continues to spread as the tenth flock has been confirmed in Iowa.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture released an order to cancel all live bird exhibits in Iowa until cases of bird flu stop.

A case oh HPAI was confirmed in wild geese in a western Iowa park indicating it is still spreading throughout the state.

Another confirmed case of avian influenza (bird flu) has been found in Iowa. An egg-laying farm in Buena Vista County with about 5.3 million chickens has confirmed cases of bird flu, meaning they will all have to be eradicated to stop the spread of the virus.

Bird owners, whether they be commercial or backyard flock owners, are reminded to practice good on-farm biosecurity to help mitigate the spread of the disease.
