The outbreak is confined to the Mississippi waterway with cases being reported in Minnesota, Missouri, and Arkansas. The Arkansas operation is in a county on the Missouri border. <br /><br />No small farm domestic birds have been affected. They recommend that domestic foul not be permitted to mix with wild foul at this time and that farmers use proper hygiene to prevent any cross contamination of their birds. <br /><br />Ill birds sometimes just look sick while some make a snicking sound, apparently that is the noise a bird makes when it sneezes.Xobekimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973381691719755451noreply@blogger.com
