Farmers, neighbors raise concerns of smell amid bird flu outbreak

​January 27, 2025​
A High Path Avian Influenza outbreak, otherwise known as bird flu, has resulted in the death of millions of commercial chickens and turkeys in Darke and Mercer counties.

As reported on News Center 7 at 6:00, over 3.7 million commercial chickens and more than 86,000 commercial turkeys in these counties were confirmed positive for bird flu on Jan. 23 and Jan. 24.​
-snip-
Some farmers who live near the impacted farms said the depopulated birds are making the area smell bad.

Other farmers said they are worried the illness will spread.

“Department of Agriculture staff is on these premises. We have USDA staff on these premises following the best guidelines that have been put in place,” Baldridge said.

News Center 7 reached out to some of the farms impacted by bird flu, but they directed crews to a statement released by the Ohio Poultry Association.
