The British government has announced that 35,000 chickens will be culled in Norfolk following the discovery of Avian Influenza. All of the birds come from one farm.

Although dead birds discovered at the location have only tested positive for the non-deadly H7 strain of the virus the cull has been ordered as a precaution, as it is considered one of the most contagious forms of the disease.

Restrictions have been imposed around the farm.
