WSDA CONFIRMS FIRST DOMESTIC FLOCK HPAI CASE IN SKAGIT COUNTY
March 20th, 2026 — Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) has confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in a medium-sized flock of backyard chickens in Skagit County. This marks the first detection of HPAI in a domestic flock in Skagit County.
-snip-
Flock owners within six miles (10 kilometers) of the Skagit County detection fall under a surveillance zone. Anyone living within this surveillance zone is encouraged to self-report any sudden flock health changes using WSDA’s online reporting tool.
Backyard flocks continue to account for most domestic detections. Contact with wild birds or contaminated environments remains the primary pathway for infection, making strict daily biosecurity essential as migration peaks.
If your flock experiences sudden death or illness of multiple birds, call the WSDA Sick Bird Hotline at 1-800-606-3056, or use the online reporting tool.
