Subject: RE: BS: H5 avian virus found in Canadian goose
...there are already clues this avian flu virus isn't likely the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus that has decimated chicken flocks in parts of Asia.
That's because the goose was part of a small, free-range flock of chickens, geese and ducks. And while four of 11 geese in the flock died, none of the chickens fell ill.
