Another 6,500 ducks in Elkhart have tested positive for the H5 avian flu.

The Indiana State Board of Animal Health announced the new infections on Monday.

This is the third infected duck farm for the county.

The board of health says this is an issue they were prepared for after 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.
