Avian Flu Confirmed in Second Flock in Jefferson Co.

A second outbreak of bird flu has been confirmed in another Jefferson County commercial poultry flock. 

The site is under quarantine, and more than 500-thousand birds will be culled, with no risk to the food supply.  Health officials say the public risk remains low as farm workers are monitored.  This follows another outbreak in the county confirmed last week, where about three million birds were affected.
