The Arizona Department of Agriculture is investigating the first potential cases of Avian Influenza in the state.
Thirteen quail and chickens and about 40 quail and partridge eggs were imported from a facility in Iowa.
A short time after the birds and eggs were shipped to Arizona, birds at the facility became sick and initial test results for those birds came back positive for H5 Avian Influenza on Monday (8 June).
The four properties where the birds and eggs were shipped are under quarantine. They are in Pinal, Mohave, Santa Cruz and Yavapai Counties.
