Bird flu outbreak hits large flock in Jay County

Another commercial egg producer in Indiana has been hit with the bird flu.

The Indiana State Board of Animal Health announced Monday that 912,000 egg-laying hens have been affected and are under quarantine in Jay County. The farm under quarantine has not been revealed publicly.

Since the start of the year, it’s the fourth flock in Jay County and the eighth in the state to have a confirmed bird flu outbreak.

It is also the second-largest outbreak in Indiana since the worldwide outbreak in 2022. The largest was this year at Seymour-based Rose Acre Farms, the second largest egg producer in the country.

In these cases, entire flocks are euthanized, and the facilities sanitized and eventually repopulated.

The State Board of Animal Health has said the outbreaks pose no risk to human safety.

Over the past year, nearly 40 million egg-laying hens have been lost nationally due to this strain of bird flu.
