Whether you're a backyard flock owner or a commercial producer, it's critical to practice good #biosecurity — especially right now as wild birds are migrating. Follow the @USDA_APHIS for the latest updates on #AvianInfluenza cases. #poultryhealth
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has been confirmed in a flock of commercial broiler chickens in Fulton County, Kentucky. HPAI was also confirmed in a backyard flock of mixed species birds in Fauquier County, Virginia. Read more here: aphis.usda.gov/aphis/newsroo…

#Chickens are omnivores. In the wild, they often scratch at the soil to search for seeds, insects and even larger animals.

Modern egg-laying #breeds rarely go broody, and those that do often stop part-way through the incubation.

#Chickens also give a low "warning call" when they think they see a predator approaching.

#DomesticChickens are not capable of long distance flight, although lighter birds are generally capable of flying for short distances.
