Aaaaaaa - CHOO

There is now a NEW strain of Bird Flu out there ...

H5N8

Has been found in Indiana in a backyard mixed flock ....

It was found in Whitney County, IN which is in the NE portion of the state

My understanding is that they are still waiting on the return of the specific tests but they are pretty sure it's not the H5N2 virus which we've had here in MN and the rest of the way up the Mississippi river way.

I have not heard if symptoms are any different, but I do believe this is the strain that was in China which also hit several wild bird species
