Dutch authorities said on Sunday they had found the highly contagious strain of bird flu, H5N8, at the poultry farm in central Netherlands and set about destroying 150,00 chickens. Agricultural inspectors started destroying the chickens at the farm, and banned poultry transport across the whole of the Netherlands. Reuters/Marco De Swart
