The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is reporting the commonwealth’s first bird flu outbreak in commercial poultry for 2025.  Officials say a flock of 50-thousand chickens at a farm in Lehigh County have tested positive for the illness.  State and federal workers are on the farm and are carrying out a response plan to limit the spread of the virus.  No bird flu cases in humans or dairy cattle have been reported in Pennsylvania so far.
