Poultry, captive falcons and wild ducks in Idaho were infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza. Highly pathogenic avian influenza has been detected in backyard chickens, captive falcons and wild ducks in western and southern Idaho.
Several wild ducks infected with H5N8 avian influenza were found in Gooding County, while the falcons and chickens in a small non-commercial flock were infected with H5N2 in Canyon County. The three falcons confirmed to have had the virus were fed wild duck. The chicken flock was about 20 miles away. All the birds were euthanized.
