LI’s last duck farm forced to shutter and euthanize nearly 100K birds due to outbreak of contagious bird flu
It’s a fowl day on the East End. An outbreak of H5N1 bird flu has struck Long Island’s last remaining duck farm and forced the operators to put down 99,000 birds, according to reports. Farm’s operator Doug Corwin broke down in tears as he said that the disease has been the worst disaster to hit the location since it opened in 1908.
