Defra confirmed an H5N1 outbreak at a commercial broiler farm near Dersingham, Norfolk, on 9 November, and all poultry at the affected premises will be culled. Authorities established 3-km protection and 10-km surveillance zones, imposing housing, biosecurity, movement and record-keeping controls on nearby poultry keepers.
The cull reduces UK poultry supply, while movement controls can disrupt deliveries of birds and eggs. This is mildly supportive for chicken prices and could add pressure to egg prices if further outbreaks occur.
