Prague/Kosičky (Hradec Králové Region) - Veterinarians have confirmed the Hradec Králové bird flu in a commercial large-scale laying hen farm in the village of Kosičky. There are over 230,000 laying hens in the farm. All the poultry will have to be culled. Due to the large number and more demanding logistics, the animals will not be culled until the beginning of next week. The State Veterinary Administration informed ČTK about this.
