All 27,000 chickens at a commercial farm in Athelington, Suffolk, are being slaughtered after birds tested positive for H5 avian flu. Defra set up a 1km exclusion zone.
The strain was identified as low pathogenic, and officials said there was no link to the Christmas turkey market.
A single farm cull of 27,000 birds is a small share of UK poultry output and is unlikely to change poultry or feed prices.
