Gregg Montgomery reports:

A commercial flock of 23,700 egg-laying hens in Kosciusko County has been quarantined following the detection of avian influenza, the Indiana State Board of Animal Health revealed Wednesday night. 

As a result, control and surveillance zones cover parts of the northern Indiana county and extend into parts of adjacent Marshall and Fulton counties. 

Across the state so far this year, avian flu has hit at least 26 poultry farms and small flocks affecting more than 8.3 million birds, according to a tally of flocks for 2025 on the state’s dashboard. Jay County in east central Indiana has had 11 farms affected.
