They knew another infection would happen sooner or later. Another 6,500 ducks in Elkhart have tested positive for the H5 avian flu, the Indiana State Board of Animal Health announced Monday.

That’s infected duck farm number three for the county, an issue the board was prepared for and has been through before, with the infected turkey farms in Dubois and Greene county.

This third infected farm will be quarantined and cleaned to prevent further spread.

The quarantine zone now extends slightly into LaGrange County and slightly across the Michigan state line.
