[Another strain of bird flu (H5N1)
has been confirmed at a poultry farm
in Cornwall, with a mass cull of the
birds ordered by the government.

All birds at the St Ives premises will
now be humanely killed,
with a 3km protection zone
and 10km protection zone put in place.

The last avian flu outbreak in the
UK happened in February
(described as the country's largest ever)
and involved the H5N1 virus.]

Better bird-flu than Covid. It can just be like 2009 (with bird-’flu. and swine-’flu.) than 2019 again.

You won't be saying that when it's £3 for a box of eggs.

Very sad for poultry farmers. We had a few short months of freedom from bird flu which allowed a lot of businesses to start exporting again and now it's all ruined

Just as well I don’t like eggs. The only things I do with them are batter, bake and make French toast, and not very often at that.
