Just saw this posted on our local Mid TN thread... I haven't looked it up to verify yet, but...
A case of low pathogen H7/N9 AI was confirmed at 5:45 tonight at a Commercial farm in Christian Co. KY. They have placed a movement ban on KY poultry beginning Monday morning until further notice.
Edited to add: This was passed on from a KY state Ag official, it has not been released to the public yet...
Very welcome, Don...
Jen Mitchell:
And 2 more cases of LPAI in Alabama again... 1 in a commercial operation and 1 in a backyard flock... :(

Don:
The one AI event in Pickens County is about three hours from the cluster of other events along the TN and AL border, along the Miss border. I hope that soon enough with the weather warming it will become a mute point. Then we will see how the respective states respond this summer.
Jim Morris:
I live in Northern Madison County Alabama, about 5 miles from the Tennessee border. I found an article that told that the case here was a backyard flock near North Huntsville. Why have they not already named the owner and exactly where its located.?
Don:
Jim, I don't know if they will release the location and name due to privacy concerns? You might check with your county ag agent to see if they can give you some distance parameters from your place. But If I were you I would lay low until it blows over. If you are tested or registered with the state then they know where you are. And my guess is that if you are within the 10 kilometer radius they would have been around to test your flock already.
