元朗一个鸡场爆发禽流感，有百多只死鸡，连“疫苗鸡”也中招，特区政府进行测试后，确认鸡只带有H5禽流感，实时下令将鸡场方圆三公里列作疫区，并销毁区内两个鸡场和长沙湾批发市场共约九万只活鸡，这是继二○○二年后最大规模的杀鸡行动，也是香港第九次杀鸡。 Long an outbreak of avian flu in chicken farms, there are more than 100 dead chickens, even the "chicken vaccine" also hit, the SAR Government to carry out tests, confirmed that chickens infected with H5 avian influenza, real-time order the farms as a radius of three kilometers affected areas and the destruction of the region and Cheung Sha Wan wholesale market two farms a total of about 90,000 live chickens, This is the second in 2002 after the largest-scale slaughter of chickens, is also the ninth to kill the chickens in Hong Kong. 同时，特区政府下令全面停售和入口活鸡三星期，市民首次度过“无活鸡食”的冬至。 At the same time, the SAR Government ordered a comprehensive moratorium on the sale and import of live chickens in three weeks, the first time, through "no live food" of the winter solstice. 香港食物及卫生局局长周一岳表示，相信病毒并非源自鸡场内，而是由场外带入，估计与走私鸡有关的可能性不大。 Hong Kong Secretary for Food and Health York Chow said that he believes the virus did not originate from the chicken farms within, but by the over-the-counter into, it is estimated that the smuggling of chicken and related slim.

渔护署抽取样本化验后，发现其基因图谱有轻微转变，不算变种，而且与内地发现的品种不同。 AFCD samples and found that its genome a slight change, not a variant, but with the mainland found in different varieties. 因此，相信病毒是来自本土或附近区域。 Therefore, I believe that the virus was from the local or nearby regions. 不过，至今仍未找出病毒的来源，未排除走私鸡的可能性，政府需要作进一步调查。 However, has yet to identify the source of the virus, did not rule out the possibility of smuggling of chickens, the Government needs for further investigation.
