PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Czech Republic started culling over 15,000 ducks
from a farm in the country's south due to an outbreak of bird flu, CTK
news agency reported on Monday.
The farm in the town of Frahelz, 130 km (80 miles) from Prague, had
22,000 ducks originally, of which 7,000 died last week due to the highly
pathogenic H5N1 virus, CTK said.

geese.
