Highly pathogenic H5N1 was confirmed at two commercial poultry farms in Yorkshire and Lancashire. All poultry at the affected premises, including 14,000 free-range laying hens at the Yorkshire farm, will be culled, and movement restrictions have been imposed around both sites.
Culling reduces poultry supply locally, while movement controls can disrupt deliveries; this may add upward pressure to chicken prices, though the reported impact is limited in scale.
