Avian flu cases suspected in Alabama, poultry shows and sales shut down
Until further notice, Alabama has now banned exhibiting or selling chickens or any type of birds together. This includes regional and county fairs, live bird markets, auctions, swap meets, festivals, and flea markets.
The "stop movement" was issued on Wednesday, after three cases of suspected avian flu were found in the northern part of Alabama. The purpose of the order is to keep the flu from spreading.
