An Iowa farm that has more than 5 million chickens has been hit by H5N2 bird flu, a deadly virus that can wipe out flocks within days.
Iowa state health officials said the outbreak affected a large flock of egg-laying hens — the largest commercial U.S. flock to be hit by the virus since it first showed up in the United States late last year.
Dustin Vande Hoef, a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Agriculture said, "All the birds on the site will be euthanized. The site is also quarantined,"
