The H5 strain was detected, leading to the flocks depopulation to prevent spread. This is the third case in the county since December and the first to hit a commercial operation during the 2025-2026 waterfowl migratory season. The public health risk remains low, but precautions are advised, especially for vulnerable groups. The virus spreads quickly and has previously led to the culling of over 1.5 million chickens in the Delmarva region. State officials urge vigilance, particularly for waterfowl hunters, to protect farms and communities.
