The Department of Agriculture says the bird flu has turned up in commercial and backyard flocks in 29 states, affecting more than 33 million birds.
The virus is almost always fatal. An outbreak of highly-contagious H5N1 bird flu with impacts is spreading from farm to table as it moves east to west.
The virus is spreading thanks mostly to migrating wild birds — waterfowl like ducks and geese. It's also affecting raptors like bald eagles. At poultry farms around the country, the watchword is"biosecurity": locking down, cleaning everything with bleach and shooing wild birds away.
