A sudden outbreak of avian influenza in a York County backyard flock has local bird owners on high alert. Clemson animal health officials are urging anyone with chickens or ducks to keep them away from wild birds and ponds, especially now during peak migration. While big poultry farms are staying safe thanks to strict rules, backyard flocks are at higher risk. Watch for unusual bird deaths, drop in eggs, or odd behavior—these could be warning signs. Quick reporting and following biosecurity tips can help protect your birds and the whole community. Anyone else making changes to their flock routine? #Business #Industry #SouthCarolina
